best possible upbringing

Do you mean abuse and indoctrination in the name of "saving my soul" and instilling "traditional values" in me by parents who hate each other but stuck together "for my sake" (while subconsciously taking it out on me)? Because that's what I got. Thanks, much appreciated...

The abuse taught me why religion needs to be destroyed, as well as to never trust the ones who are supposed to love me. It taught me to fight for myself, and never trust, never assume, never give in. It taught me to give up any hope in humanity or god, and accept will as the only force that matters.

It also gave me severe anxiety, depression, a suicide attempt, and taught me how to hate myself. So thanks for the trauma.

But "marriage must never be broken. It's sacred, for the good of the kids..."
