Yep. Well, maybe not hate anymore, but they are no longer in my life. They were abusive and exploitative people who raised their kids as an insurance policy for their retirement.
Wow, sorry to hear, many have been raised in abusive environments. Do you have scars that have followed you your whole life? And even though your parents were horrible, do you missed them and get mad at yourself because of that?
i think we all do in someways or another, as contrast, we all hate everything but we do hold affection and bridges of love between us, no matter how much we hate them, we still do love them deep down, I think nobody can say " no I love them" and no one can say "no I hate them", feelings and emotions aren't that swallow after all
