Yes, my parents and step parents were very harsh.
I have crappy relationships with each of them. I have a hard time with feeling important or worth while. I rarely feel whole. I have a hard time connecting with my kids because I was never interacted with for the purpose of relationship. I have a hard time not expecting too much from dd because so much was expected of me.
