Talked to parent number two.
Again I don't know what I was expecting. They were their normal self. We had our normal problems. It wasn't a happy experience.
But I have a better picture of why both of them do the things they do: they're overprotective, anxious people. And they don't take the time to think about what I feel like I need protection from (which is nothing, btw. I'm an adult, I can defend my own interests. I'm actually really good at it) so they protect me from what they think I need protection from. Which is the thing they need protection from. Which is what I want.
I'm just so tired. I feel like I'm running a marathon. I don't know if it will ever end.
