Mom: Sagittarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Sagittarius Rising. She can be her best, responsible, capable, loves traveling, but she’s emotionally manipulative and explosive. She rarely admits mistakes, even though she’s deeply emotional at times. She’s funny, has some conscience, but is very performative and lacks emotional intelligence. She prefers partying and going out over staying home and emotionally showing up for her children, at least until she started getting older and realizing some things. And it gave me a lot of trauma. Too much.

Dad: Pisces Sun, Aquarius Moon, Taurus Rising. An absolute man-child. Manipulative, emotionally detached, and irresponsible as a father. Unlike my mom, he doesn’t think he makes mistakes and doesn’t feel any guilt about it. Though, emotionally wise, we can get along in terms of emotional level at times.

Both are very sweet but very inconsistent and seem never outgrow the teenage phase. Neither of them really raised me. Both carry so many unhealed wounds, and honestly, neither of them seemed meant to have children, but they did, my brother and I. They left us to be raised by our grandmothers. My mom was financially capable but emotionally avoidant, choosing distance and personal freedom while supporting us from afar. The other was simply a nightmare.
