Are many teens good with their parents?

  • I had a hard time in the majority of my teen years, to even when I was a kid. It was largely due to an untreated neurological condition.

    I had a hard time opening up to my family. I never felt fully accepted with them, so it was almost as if I was acting in a role. I couldn't open up on important/serious stuff.

    I'd say that in a way, having parents who don't seem interested in your life is far better than having family members who are very nosy and obsessed with what is going on in your personal life. While it isn't as unpleasant as it was when I was younger, every now in then it will happen. It's very irritating.

    If my father had lived, I probably would've had a cool parent in him and my mother probably would be like how she has become, with social anxieties. My father seemed like a cool guy. There's a lot that we would've had in common now.

    With your parents, it might not necessarily be that they don't care about you. They might just be emotionally reserved. Why don't you suggest that you have family time together. You could all go out somewhere or stay indoors and spend time together.

    • At first thanks for your sympathy. :)

      It's not like I've never wanted to do something with them or even now but they were acting so bad that I don't like these people anymore. This may sound a little bit weird because they are my parents but they have really hurt me that I became kind of numb and emotionless by doing what they did and still do. I laugh, I still have fun when I'm with my friends and I can be sad but regarding them I just don't give a damn about anything anymore. So they have made me develop a huge disklike for them.

      I would like to think they are just emotionally reserved but they really make another impression.. if we suppose that we really do something together they would still annoy me. And in the end there will nothing change I think because we won't do it often enough that it makes it's effect, my mother is going to keep drinking her shitty alcohol and my father is not going to stop her from it by like putting pressure on her, advising her with a self-help group or something. I have to announce that she's not a bad person because she goes shopping food and water for the family and works but I can't bear her if she keeps drinking and just pretends, like my father, everything would be fine.

      It's very difficult and even more difficult to describe because it seems so complex to me.
