Well, I have a parent that is right on the edge of dislike that I keep them in my life for the sake of family harmony. But I consider them to be a bad person that makes me extremely uncomfortable to be around.

If you had something similar, and they died, how did it make you feel?

I’m purely curious because right now I feel like I would happy that they are out of my life, but sad for my family, but overall happier. And I want to understand if I’m being naive about the hardship of losing a parent, even a disliked one.

      Thanks, I really appreciate it. I am working on making some things better for myself. Its just hard to keep up motivation some says when progress is slow due to other factors and the regret and frustration play on on daily loop most days.

        I get that, it’s really hard, and it’s okay to sometimes take a day off from trying, I just hope you always find the will to invest in yourself and in your happiness eventually.
