My Parents

I think i will always be sad about how my parents view the world.

after a conversation with my father, he’s so cynical and angry and truly seems to not like any person who is different or not in his circles.

He’s transphobic and does not understand that mental health and chronic illness/depression is real or can be exhausting.

I just hate being around them, being so awful to people they know and don’t know.

Why can’t they do what they taught me growing up, be kind and empathic and just a nice fucking person.

Why is being respectful and understanding so frowned on.

He is more right leaning, and i am more left, which is fine, opinions are valid. I just wish the fucking world would stop being so fucked up and we didn’t have to disagree on such fundamental things.

I miss my dad.
