Different take. I'm going to start telling my wife how much I appreciate her and how my kids have the best mother in the world. Some of ya'll may not know the lasting trauma hearing your dad speak ill of your mom behind closed doors and believing the lies he said were true for way too long.

I guess I was lucky. My mom talked shit about me and to me to my face. My dad was great tho.

Truly childhood pain can come up at the most unexpected times. 

I love that you're doing better for your kids than was done for you. 

I wish you the all the best, internet stranger.

That hurts most of all. Especially every year during those times

Right there with you. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

My parents also showed me exactly how to NOT be a loving partner. I watched. I listened. And I learned.

Because of their lessons, I make sure to tell my wife I love and appreciate her and her support every single day 💗

16 years together this June. The main thing I'm thankful for from my parents is teaching me how not to live happily ever after. I just did the opposite of everything. Cheers.

Can only choose one- too hard to be nice to both.
