Oh darling, I hope you get best in life. I'd say that parents doesn't deserve you but I feel that it's not my place to say it, I will just say that every parent loves their child but for some parents the word love doesn't exist, it's so sad that a lot of people and you also go through this, you all deserve the World. I hope and wish you to get your healing and don't forget to love yourself, your parents don't determinate your worth, YOU DO!(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Didn't have THAT kinda of parents, but had my immediate family being physically and emotionally abusive, so many be it's also not my place to say smth about yours, but at least I can say some about mine
Some ppl shouldn't be parents or they shouldn't have been parents with each other or at some point of time
I was also born with certain plan and expectations to fulfill and being a trick pony in order to receive love is probably the worst of all with parents like that
Spiraling into anxiety from ppl you care seem to be upset, distant, angry, cause it must be you, right? Never feeling certain about what normal boundaries are, not being sure you show/give not enough or on opposite being clingy. are you asking for too much? Are they burdened by you and stick by just out of kindness? And so on
So it's great to see the story here exploring it and I'd say does it well, both of them going through the same things really just separately in their heads and they're different ppl after all so they do it differently as well
I do feel like part of me heals every time I see stuff like that: I mean stories and ppl having strong response like that
Most importantly remember: what happened to us was not okay, but we can be some day

my parents are a lot like haewon’s so not only did i cry reading this, i cried seeing people be so nice and understanding in the comments
