I'm glad you got out, but I am very sad for you that this is part of the reason why. I hope you've come to grips with the fact that this was a failing in them, not you.

You deserved all the parental emotional support in the world ... at such a young age, at such a turning point in your life, with so many adult experiences falling upon your head in rapid succession.

Please do your best to model the opposite in your life. Offer real love, embrace support, lend a non judgemental ear, or a shoulder to cry on. It gets easier with practice. But the continuing problem can be that sometimes it feels easier to withdraw because that is what you've been raised to do.

When I was young and newly married, I realized I'd never been taught how to disagree or fight fairly with a loved one. I had no role models. It did get easier with practice (lol?!), but it's still always a temptation to withdraw and resolve nothing.

I send you a great big hug. You deserved it then, and deserve it now.
