My dad was the nicest, polite gentleman I knew, but lately he is a pig when eating. Has to talk while his mouth us crammed full of food, picks at crumbs on his shirt and shovels them into his mouth and smacks his food or his drink and it is making me crazy! Also spits particles of food out after he eats jus t randomly.
A "rose" by any other name......think about it folks.....
There are many good threads here about care and many people who had excellent parents. I hope you will find the threads that answer your own needs and the people who you would like to follow. The group is a diverse one. Threads about manners, pooping, and venting are ones you might want to avoid. They tend to be a bit more raw about feelings, so you may find them distasteful and not useful to you.
So before you go saying things like "Maybe your parents were "terrible parents" and never taught you how to be kind, graceful or compassionate in the face of great difficulty?", you might want to stop and think. Many of us *did* have "terrible parents" - in ways you probably can't even begin to imagine.
And yes...I know...I'm feeding the troll.
