Sure that'd be nice if you had no ulterior motives and didn't turn it into a weird sexual thing
Also apologies to OP if you feel like I am hijacking your thread by the way, wasn't my intention and I hope you yourself don't feel spoken over or anything

Absofuckinglutely. People say comparison is the thief of joy but somehow everyone else around me has a genuinely good relationship with their parents or at least receives help from them and I am so jealous. It's hard not to compare. I feel so lost. When I try to seek advice from people somehow it always circles back to parents. "How did you do this?" "Oh my dad helped me." "You should to back home to your parents" "Without my parents I'd be in prison" etc
What would it have been like, to have been raised with principles and values, by kind and strong people who had them? To have been loved and helped? To have had caretakers who were patient and wanted to parent?
Even just one parent would help a ton, especially right now. I'm going through a lot of tough things and feel like I need guidance or a safe, stable place to live (so in this case a parent's place) more than ever. Aside from when I was younger like when my mother first died, I haven't felt guilt over my heavy resentment towards my parents. As dramatic as it may sound I feel like they fucked up my entire life. So I don't think there was ever any need to beat yourself up over it and I'm glad you managed to leave too. Fuck him.

Don't be sorry, you didn't know. I'm glad you have your mom at least. That's one thing I guess. If I did have parents I loved, I'd feel so sad over their eventual deaths. I wasn't exactly sad over my mother's death and when my dad dies I don't even know if I'll know. It wouldn't affect my life at all. I hope that your mom wins too anon and you two can live more together. A long happy, healthy life.
