My dad was a gangster. He is popular, well respected in the streets. He has a temper problem, can be violent. He can also be sweet and kind. But the drug game forced him to check people, go on principle and do some things I don't think are truly him.
My mom was an introvert, hard-worker but dealt with a lot of jealousy in her younger years from family and peers. A lot of her friends tried to snake her with my dad and she would find out later they didn't like her. Not for any reason. She went a long time without friends because things were so traumatic for her and she didn't know why people she loved or did nothing to didn't fukk with her on a genuine level.
I am like both. I have trust issues like my mom. I have that temper like my dad. I've dealt with jealousy from family and peers and I'm an introvert. I keep to myself and I'm generous to those who are receptive to me and I feel like respect me. I grew up feeling alone in groups - around other people (the couple friends I did have). I feel like all I have to build me is myself, like both of my parents in ways. They both were/are leaders and individualistic.

NOTHING!
both parents are the GOAT. They both taught me independence, what it means to a respectable person and take no shyt
