I remember when I first saw my parents as real human beings, like not just ‘parents’, a label that carries this responsibility that you’re a person who just knows how to handle everything that happens and you don’t have your own life and emotional problems. Having had more life experience now than when I was a teenwolf I can think of how insane it must be to be bringing up kids and having your own life and experiences. When you feel fucked up or heartbroken or stressed or pissed off, disappointed, if work is tough, if relationships are tough, if someone you know has died or is dying, if you have an illness or a private problem and there’s someone who loves you very much and totally relies on you for pretty much everything but doesn’t consider any of those things as possible stresses in your life, how must that feel?
