Now you're stuck in a life you didn't expect to see so it's kinda awkward because you weren't supposed to be here.
Feels like those videogames in which you fall off the map or glitch in a way that lets you get to a part where you shouldn't be and everything is weird because the game itself isn't prepared for what's happening.
Also yeah, mother is a narcissist, father is emotionally stunted and both were heavy drinkers and smokers when I was a kid. Yay! I relate!
