goes for mom too. ive always been insanely close with my dad but would butt heads with my mom often. she can be... difficult. but in recent years, ive learned to move past a lot of things, dealing with the parts of her that drive me up the wall so that i can appreciate her good qualities. it took time. a lot of it. and she also needed to change a little bit too cause in the beginning it wouldve been impossible for me to do that

but yeah... we butt heads with our parents. if your parent is anything like my mom, they mean well but have weird ways of showing it. sometimes you just need to rise above. its worth it.
