Question for unemployed people. Did you have an angry parent?

Just wondering.

I've never been employed and have very serious mental health issues.

When I was a child my dad would blow up in rage and drama whenever anything surprised him in the house or an accident happened. This made me afraid to interact with people and affected my learning.

Anyone else think something similar happened to them?

Because it strikes me some Autistic people are a lot more successful, and I am fairly sure the reason is they had more savvy/better parents.

Parents
  • I had two loving parents and a wonderful childhood up until my teenage years. Things went wrong for me as a teenager, and I felt disconnected from my parents (and everyone else). But it was nothing they did or didn't do. They remained ultra loving and supportive all through my life, and I had a strong bond with my mum that was unshakable and unbreakable. I never felt a closeness with my father, and we found it hard to communicate with one another most of the time, and there were often awkward silences. But we loved each other. The love was never in doubt.
