I miss my dad – we got to be friends, and a team, during his last 3 years. It helped that those who triggered his fears of “Never being good enough” were not visiting him. No one gets the parents they want – No one! So I recommend “Adulting” and building a close circle of those who nurture and appreciate you in the ways you want. Surely our parents did not get world class parents either,
Good advice, Carolyn. Thank you.
