Studies have down that people with adult children tend to be happier than older, childless people. I think this is probably why my mom really want to control me all the time… she’s afraid she’ll lose me and be alone… like… mom wtf… I’d like you a lot more if uou gave me a bit of room to breathe… Mom is keep pushing the idea of marriage to my older brother (who’s 28) because she’s afraid he’ll be (and I quote) “be alone for the rest of his life”… for context my dad got married at 31. They still care about us, even though I am a piece of shit. Just not total I guess. Or maybe they tolerate me for their mom. As a young adult… speaking from the kid’s perspective… there’s like this sort of feeling that is so… hard to explain… this connection… My mother is/was very emotionally abusive by western standards, but still… I have this weird attachment to her… separation anxiety… or trauma bonding? idk…
