    plenty of people think their parents are nut jobs, and plenty of them don’t and think their parents are flawless gods.

    IME that correlates highly with basically how adult/independent you are from your folks. some folks never leave the nest their entire lives, at least emotionally and often financially. blows my mind how many 30/40 something ladies I meet… who are still ‘daddy’s little girl’. I’m sure there are plenty of dudes like that too.

    my folks basically cut me off after college, but also I thought they were nut jobs when I was like 5 years old, because they are. they had all sorts of weird, delusional, and stupid beliefs, and had nothing to do with religion… they were just average americans.
