I don't think anything has ever resonated more.

"One of the most validating things I have ever experienced was this counsellor telling me something along the lines of, "I think you know that your parents are never going to be what you need them to be. Even if your friends' parents and your partner's parents are to them what they need of them. You need to establish boundaries between yourself and them and stop giving them so much when you don't receive the same in return".
