It can make a difference, when the realization comes that in many cases, they weren't trying to hurt us. That our parents had their own challenges and did their best and loved us in their own ways.
The puzzlement, things just not adding up for much of our lifetimes -- and then with a diagnosis, whether medical or just our own realizations -- pieces begin to fall into place.
And we see that we are not lacking, it was not us. It was never us. This can be very freeing in some ways.
