You ever have something you wish you could tell your parents, but were afraid they would never talk to you again?

That's a really good question, thank you for asking it.
The thing I've never told them, is that when I was little I used to be quite scared of them - and to be honest I still am, on a minuscule measure.
They weren't violent or abusive or anything, but I remember them quarreling almost always when I was little and when they separated I went through a long period of rarely seeing them - it's somewhat telling that back then I thought that my aunt - who mostly raised me - was my mother while my mother was my aunt.
So I was a bit scared of this ''aunt'' and my ''uncle'' who I always saw being mad at each other, even when they were nice with me.

Then I lived with my mother for some years, and my awe of her would grow - again, she wasn't violent or even verbally abusive, but she could be quite cold and could go from being jolly and happy-go-lucky to inhumanly icy in the span of a moment. She didn't exactly order me around, but she barely did any chore so I would clean, cook and overall keep the house in order on top of going to school. In the morning, I was the one waking her up and making her find breakfast ready on the table - likewise, before going school she would leave money on the table the evening prior so I could run to the store and buy her cigarettes, drop them back at our flat and then go to school. It wasn't that bad as it seems, she could be nice and buy me things or take me to places when she was in a good mood, but generally we had the silent agreement that she worked and brought money home, while I did the chores.

That kind of really sucks when that happens the two people that you should be able to go to any time and talk to them about anyting I know what you mean though I've been there if you ever need to talk about something hit me up you can talk and get to know me a little bit and you'll see what kind of guy I am that I've been there before where you just want to yell at the top of your lungs to get something out of your system so you have nobody to do it with I would be honored to help you if I possibly can

Yes I want them to make a list of all the things they buy at Chinese grocery stores when they go shopping so I can duplicate their cooking recipes but my mom does not want to help me learn her recipes, they use a lot of ingredients that are only available in ethnic food stores, not common things like potatoes or lettuce that you can buy at any Walmart.

I don't think I've ever done something this extreme... or this wrong that my parents would just have to stop talking to me
