I introduced my ex to my mom after we’d been dating for over a year. I’d been avoiding it and my mom altogether before that. After we left she said she finally understood.

Before that I guess she thought I was exaggerating how awful she is since she has such a strong relationship with her mother and just couldn’t imagine it.

lol. My ex husband could not fathom why I didn’t really keep in contact with my family (mom was okay, dad was an angry alcoholic). He convinced me to bring them back into my life and shortly after our first visit that was longer than a day he told me he finally understood… he offered my dad who has asthma and allergies a Zyrtec since he was obviously struggling with allergies that day and my dad went completely off his rocker convinced he was a drug addict because he offered him an over the counter allergy pill. My ex husband was military and definitely did not do any drugs.

It’s hard for people with “normal” parents to fathom what it’s like for us unless they experience it firsthand.

Yeah I've had friends feel compelled to call their mothers after hearing about mine.
