Mommy AND Daddy issues

Now that Mother's Day is here (and Father's Day is around the corner), I always think about the adult children of those parents who are able to actually celebrate those days because they have a deep, loving relationship with their parents.

As for me, BOTH of my parents are emotionally immature, and I don't have an emotional bond with either of them. I completely cut off my father from communication (one of the best decisions of my life) and I currently keep my mother at arms length. Even though my brother and I had our physical needs met (food, water, shelter, clothing), neither of them had the capacity to provide us with emotional safety and both parents have narcissistic tendencies which only added more to my C-PTSD.

Long story short, I wish my brother and I could've had more loving and emotionally supportive parents so that we could share happy moments with them like Mother's/Father's Day. I wish that our family was actually together and functioning.
