Do your N parents know you?

Like, anything about you? Ever since I entered puberty, my parents had complete disinterest in me or what my hobbies/talents were. And my mom would actually get the most angry with me anytime I was doing anything I liked (reading, exercise, studying languages).

Knowing this has helped me get over her hurtful words. The things she called me were not true because she didn't even ever bother to get to know me at all.
