How to cope when your parents tried their best but are/were dealing with their own demons?

I have a hard time acknowledging my own emotions as is and whenever I bring up the subject of my childhood with them and how they should have done this or that they argue with me, because I feel like it brings up feelings of inadequacy for them. But at the same time part of healing is acknowledging things you missed

Like from day 1, this guy who is senior to me has been waging some kind of psychological war on me. He's never been nice to me for literally no reason, he's super nice and kisses ass in front of an audience but rude one on one or when he can get away with it. Super eager to criticize but rarely ever gives guidance or mentorship unless it makes him look good. I'm someone who mostly minds my own business and doesn't try to play games and I think he perceives me as weak for that?

What even is the point
