>>222562015I was def in a similar mindset myself. I remember my folks used to buy me anything as long as it entertained me enough to fuck off and I used to get a bunch of ADV films VHS tapes and eventually getting some of Berserk after watching a bit of it with my uncle. I cant even tell you how many afternoons I spent as a kid picking the heaviest branch I could find and swinging it over and over like Guts would do to train. I still did that sometimes even in my adult life lol. In a way, youre right, he kinda did have a hand in raising misfits like us. Guts was for sure my ideal version of the heros archetype for most of my life. Still is in a lot of ways.
>>222562040Relatable. I know its not much consolation but at least you can recognize that the way your folks treat you is for shit and you're a better person because of that. You dont have to perpetuate that kind of behavior to future generations or the people around you. Old folks are overrated anyways. People like you and me, we don't need people like that.
Though I do partially agree with the other anon, it sounds like theyre abusive fucks, so if you can get away and cut contact I'd highly advise it. My life has improved significantly ever since I started cutting out toxic family members. They all call me an asshole and a traitor but idgaf, I never hear it directly anyways because theyre inconsequential to me.
We're all in this. Regardless of all the other fucks acting like clowns here we've still got each other for some little bits of validation here and there and honestly thats all I need right now.
