It was with my Mum mainly due to personality types. I haven't had any sort of arguments with my parents for years now, I'm in my early 30s and they're mid 50s.
I was never involved with drugs, police etc. And never really got in trouble at school but I could just be really stroppy sometimes and answering back a lot.
I didn't swear at them really, I think the most I ever said was 'what the hell" or something like that.
But I would have these sort of meltdowns and be crying and shouting and getting worked up over nothing. I did used to wonder if I had ADHD or was on the autistic spectrum.
It wasn't constantly, we also got on great most of the time.
I've got a 20 year old brother and he also had his teenage arguments for sure where he could be quite insolent, but I've never seen him crying and shouting.
We had a couple of arguments when the first lockdown started but nothing at all since.
I see them weekly and have a fantastic relationship with them, they are incredibly supportive.
I think I've really learned how to regulate my emotions since then luckily. I know I was a teen for the most part and shouldn't be so hard on myself but I still feel guilty sometimes.
Does anyone else ever feel guilty like this?
My Dad is a very quiet person and kinda 'stayed out of the way' which is why it didn't happen much with him, though it did once or twice, he could lose his temper.
People these days comment on how I'm very mellow and calm and I hope that's the case.
