(3,702 posts)When I say that neither of my parents loved me, I get the same response. Or people think I'm looking for pity. And no, it's true...they are both narcissists and both incapable of loving anyone. And the sooner I accepted that, the sooner I could work on realizing that it wasn't about me...I didn't do anything wrong. I have 2 broken parents. My mom has been married and divorced 5x and my dad I think is on his 4th. I am the only child either has had..which is sad and funny at the same time. I'm the only one who understands what they are as parents...but also there is this idea that they had me and went...well, not doing that again...takes too much attention off of me.
Your adoptive mother was horrible too..I am sorry you had to endure that fear of being "returned". My mom used to always threaten to send me off somewhere and I believed her.
