As someone currently on holiday with my parents for the first time in 15 years, iI would say that 'being asked to come on holiday with my parents at the age of 33' is just about the worst most punishment they've ever unwittingly meted out to me. 15 years since I left home and as a happy, well adjusted independent adult I can finally see that all that childhood and adolescent misery wasn't my fault. They really are terrible to be stuck with. Not bad, not evil... Just miserable, angry, hate filled, bitter, passive aggressive, have a propensity for making you feel guilty and responsible for their own misery, anger, hate and passive aggressiveness. So far these last 3 days have been about as much as i can take. I cannot wait to get the fuck out of here and away from them. For so long I thought it was somehow my fault that I couldn't have the relationship with my parents that wanted... Or that other people seemed to have. Now I know it wasn't my fault.
