Anyone else feel bitter about holidays like Mother's/Father's day?

I live with my parents and have a really hard time with father's day. Last year my boyfriend spent over an hour with me trying to find a card because I can't buy a gooshy, lovey card that's a bold face lie. Bought a card basically saying thanks for fixing shit because even though he's a major dick he always fixed the 96 minivan I just got rid of this November. Still haven't found one for tomorrow.

It's hard seeing all these posts on facebook about loving fathers when I grew up being terrified of mine. A lot of my female friends are daddy's girls and I'm jealous they get to have that kind of relationship. He's gotten better since I became an adult but still has his rampages and I can't just get over the physical abuse as a kid. My 3 brothers seem like they've been able to let it go and pretend it didn't happen but I can't.

Couple weeks ago he threw out the bike I've had for 17 years because "it's a piece of junk [I] haven't ridden in 5 years." I was regularly going for 10 mile rides with my mom..

He told me I was "biased" against her and she wasn't seeking narcissist supply Why can’t I wear makeup around my father. If you have a narc near you, disengage in conversations. Use the grey rocking technique. Do everything in your power to appear uninteresting. You cannot win in a conversation with them. They live in their own reality and even statistics and facts wouldn't let them see any other reality than theirs. Being the first person in my family to break our generational trauma, but also REALIZING AND ACKNOWLEDGING that there is trauma Nmom cried to my friend and told them what a terrible son I am when I went to the bathroom. Now friend is on her side. Mom ruined birthday surprise friends planned for me Legal liability if you refuse to take care of elderly parent? Did anyone else sense that something was clinically "off" or "wrong" with their Nparents as far back as they can remember? Why are abusive mothers coddled so much? What was the worst “punishment” that you got from your nparents and why? How do you change inner voices? Did y’all grow up feeling like you were always spied on? so nmom called me this morning to say we need to have a serious talk. What traits have lingered for you after *years* of NC?
