True, and there’s some fucked ip relationships out there that can be toxic.

That said, there’s still a bond, and you’ll likely miss them when their gone if their behavior isn’t completely toxoc

I wanted to say this. I liked my mother (who died last year) way more than my father. To my father's credit he's not overtly abusive, but I certainly do not like him as a person, and if/when he dies, I am 99.99% sure I wouldn't even be a tenth as devastated as when my mother died.
