Parental Relationships
Just a reference archive post for the blog that goes a little into how the Doctors' families were like/ what relationship they had with their parents
PLEASE NOTE THIS MIGHT BE SUPER SPOILERY FOR A FEW DOCTORS. I have intentions to discuss a few of these people's families briefly in some side stories either explicitly or through dialogue, but I won't do it for everyone bc it might not matter to the story itself. This is otherwise purely just reference for those interested.
Yosuke - His parents were fairly demanding, but Yosuke managed to pick up on a lot of different activities enough to satisfy them and did find joy in several of those activities. He had a fairly busy childhood that initially stressed him out since he wasn't so used to the fast pace of learning so many things, but he never wanted to be seen as lesser or get put down by his family so he adjusted to the demand. He did not utterly hate his family, but he did have poor opinions of them early on and he was relatively distant emotionally from them. He found value in what he did for the sake of it, rather than whether it pleased others.
Mom - Her parents were usually quite busy and never tended much to her unless they had to or had spare time. She grew to seek attention from her mother especially by acting out, but only found herself being labelled as disappointing when she did, even when her mother was just as bad a person then as Mom is now (minus the messed up mental state I suppose). For the sake of keeping up appearances and holding onto the family money, Mom adjusted herself to expectations while present around her family or their friends/business partners/etc., but she acted most like herself when not at home. She often slunk away from important gatherings to mess around with the sons of her parents' associates.
Sven - He didn't dislike his parents, but they left him unsupervised a lot of the time when he was in his teens and coddled him when he got in trouble. He was constantly doing things that should have gotten him arrested, but his parents often paid people off before that ever happened. His relationship with them was more parasitic than it was loving or scornful.
Jude - Jude had a pretty decent standing with his father, and had a fairly quiet upbringing. He did not grow up with a mother since she died when he was young, and his father was always pretty busy and couldn't always afford to hover over his kid. Jude learned to be independent at a young age, but was fairly social and kept busy with other people (sometimes questionable people at that). Neither father or son much interacted, but the interactions they did have were not unpleasant.
Micah - He had a good relationship with his mother and often stuck to her when he was younger. He also constantly tried to take care of his mother who often struggled living alone with her son. Micah did not have a father since his father left when Micah was young, but close to his teens, he did have a demanding and crude stepfather who he absolutely hated.
Gale - They had fairly traditional parents who did not much like that their child wasn't super social and was struggling with their gender identity. Gale was raised as a girl, and constantly referred to as a daughter. Even when they once made it clear about their gender identity, Gale's parents didn't agree with the "choice" and asserted their child as a girl/woman. Gale did not have quite that much trust in their parents after a while despite initially being quite trusting of them as a child. They couldn't exactly get up and leave home, so they had to put up with lying about themselves to others and fronting as primarily female. This bleeds a lot into how they used to front themselves before TF. But once Gale was able to leave home and had their own slight financial footing after college, they essentially cut themselves off from their immediate family and kept only certain social relationships
Jonathan - Jonathan had no real qualms with his parents. They let him be most of the time, and only expected him to do something decent with his life. They raised Jonathan in a humbler place, but soon shifted elsewhere after a job change and so there was a lot more social pressure in the social class they climbed to. Everyone ended up being more distant with each other into Jonathan's teens, so he was often starved for attention and excitement despite being relatively anxious about meeting new people and jumping into new things.
Nathaniel - His mother was much more open and loving toward him, while his father was far more demanding. His father disapproved of Nathaniel's interest in the arts, and he expected his son to get into something "worthwhile". Nathaniel found frustration in his father, but was close with his mother.
Milos - It's been said Milos drunkenly talks about his father, and it's evident he had a rocky relationship with the man. However, Milos could do no more than rely on his father for things. He was a rough man who treated his son harshly and had high expectations of his son to follow in his footsteps. Milos despised the man, yet feared him all the same.
Lilah - Lilah did not care for her parents whatsoever--her mother was distant and her father was a controlling asshole who put a lot of restrictions on her that she never followed. She did everything possible to upset him, and he in turn did everything possible to stifle her.
Monica - Monica's parents were a bit pushy with her, primarily her mother. She expected her daughter to live up to high social expectations, was highly opinionated, and often ushered her daughter in a specific direction while expecting her not to ask question. Monica didn't like her mother's tendency to hover, make constant suggestions, and sometimes make decisions for her without consulting her daughter. She had a strong dislike for her mother bcause of these tendencies, but refused to outright say she hated her. She found dealing with and talking to her mother like a person very difficult since her mother tended to shut her opinions down. When Monica was young, she did as told and hardly questioned this, but she became a bit more rebellious and mouthy when in her teens. Only after fighting against her mother for years did she eventually even out and become much more docile. She feared being left in the dark if she didn't act a certain way for certain kinds of people, and figured that social expectations could not be countered with rebellion forever. Monica's mother much more agreeable and loving to Monica when she behaved anyway.
TO + Lucius - I can't go into these two atm, but you can pretty much wager TO had a shitty relationship with his father and hated him, while Lucius might not have hated his own family.
