When a therapist says "your parents did the best they could" is that like code for they abused/neglected you?
No, it means your parents did the best they could, idiot.
Clearly they didn't do well enough, since you're a moron.
It means you shouldn't blame them for how you turned out.
No, it means your parents did the best they could. It means don't blame your parents for your shit
You gain nothing from assuming that people speak in codes. If you want to know what your therapist thinks then ask your therapist what they think.

depends on the context. what did you say immediately before she said that?

Basically, how did my parents do raising me after we talked about how my grandmother abused and neglected my mother (she lied about there being any abuse in her family).

you didnt quite answer the question, so we cant really tell you what she meant. we are not psychic.
we dont know what you told her about your parents raising me. we dont know why she said thats the best they could have done. we dont know if she meant emotionally based on their own background, or financially o what have you
You can tell from his posts that OP is stupid as fuck. Probably a useless fat neckbeard NEET wasting space.

Keep in mind that therapists need to keep a neutral or better rapport with their patients. If things get negative, the patient will stop listening to any advice. Because of this, they'll couch disagreements in neutral terms.
"Your parents did the best they could" is a neutral as fuck way of saying "your problems are not due to your parents, but it seems like you want to blame them anyway."
It means that you need to take some responsibility for your life
No, it means they did their best. They had the right intentions, but due to their own upbringing and shortfalls made mistakes. Either way you can't blame your parents for who you are.
