When i become a parent here's what i'll never do that my parents have done to me.

Son/Daughter i promise to never...

Wake you up screaming about anything unless im dying or about to.

make you feel stupid for laughing out loud

force you to feel guilty about your style

not listen

help you when you feel you need it

ignore when youre feeling depressed or tired and arent in the mood to talk

call you a brat or something that makes you feel less than who you are

giving you everything you want then calling you a brat

beat you (my dad did this once...i'm not being abused regularly)

calling you fat or making you feel bad when you're eating

comparing you to siblings or relatives or anyone else

calling your dreams stupid or insulting them

making comment on your lack of boyfriend or not having a lot of friends

yeh my life isn't as bad as compared to some...shit my cousins have it waaay worse. But...still everyone has their own personal hell, you have no idea what living with my family is like. It's torture but it's subtle, your family makes you feel great for awhile, then they treat you like shit, then back to good, it's on and off, but i always feel like they love me...but not like me...for me, i hope that makes sense.
