It doesn't seem like they were as supportive as they could have been with you. Sure they provided a comfortable material life, but it seems like they neglected your emotional care. I don't think it's whiny- all children need to feel loved and valued by their parents and you didn't get that from what you say. Seems they just threw toys your way and expected you to shut up. Not saying you're totally blameless. You seem to know where you made your mistakes as well. The whole family is a bit disfunctional. Are you old enough now that you can talk to them as an adult and get some closure and initiate some mutual apologies?
Are my parents bad parents or am I just whiny?
