After 29 years I am only just beginning to find out how really incredible my parents are. I always thought I knew but now I am truly seeing what they are capable of, and how incredibly strong they are.
Lost both of my parents in an automobile accident about four years previous and to tell you the truth I AM GLAD TO SEE THEM GONE, we never got along and I do not miss them one ioata.
Lol.. My parents are caring and will do anything for me. I know its sounds like one of those lame family shows or something. But its not. Im pretty much Emo. And i actullay dont want my parents to help, cuz i dont wanna trouble them. But they really want to help me more than anything. I ,ove my parents! We are not an "old" family. My dad never smacked me or something like that. Never! Im im not some gay ass weakling. I have a good life. Just emotional problems. And i dont understand why my parents arent mad at me or something. They'll do anything for me. Even though i not the positive type. I think most things are sad and lame. But.. Well.... Its the internet. Here you can somehow speak open minded. I thought my parents were just parents. But when i see this, all those people who HATE there parents. It wierd. BTW i haven't got abused by my parents <.< But.. I could never say i hated my family. Never..
I guess you're a lot like me. I'm depressed and my mom has been there every step of the way for me. My brother, cousin and aunts have too. Even my cat can tell when I'm sad and cuddles up in my lap.
As for my *ahem* dad, he doesn't even know me any more. I don't consider him part of my family. Family means that you're supposed to be there for each other. My best friends are more like family to me than him.
I love my mom, she's funny and we make each other laugh. My dad is like that annoying uncle that you have nothing to say to.
Can I talk about my story here and could you give me an advice?
Right now I have a love hate relationship with them. Don't get me wrong they're so nice caring and loving me to the fullest. But they're so negative and I don't know what to do with them.
yes absolutely, when I was younger I thought they were too controlling but over the years I've realized they were always doing everything they could to help me.
I love my parents and I don't blame them for being angry and depressed with me sometimes. I've screwed up so many times that they have every right to be
they forced their religion on me knowing im an atheist,i got forced to go to church till i was 17 and my dad slapped me bkuz i said ill never like church and i fought him and i won
when i was younger my parents would make an example out of me in front of my siblings to what happens to nonbelievers
I'm glad to say that even though I sometimes "hate" them or find them really stupid, in the end I realize they love me with their lives, they work their butts off for me and they're simply amazing people. I'm insanely grateful to them.
My parents love me unconditionally. I started to "disconnect" when I was very young (as I started to gradually develop my own views on life). By the time I was fourteen, I managed to cut off the guilty, forced "I love you's" that I felt I had to give them.
I'm eighteen now. I can honestly say I don't love them.
They try to control me and I'm about to break free which is going to break their hearts and make them hate me. My home is broken. I still love them though.
Alot of people I see around, just want to get away from their parents. Everyone I've talked to always say they're trying to get away from their parents as soon as possible. I wouldn't know why, I grew up with great parents, who clench their teeth and tried to keep the family from falling apart. I love my parents to death, and would be ripped apart(metaphorically speaking) if they disappeared. They've provided me with a chance for an education, and frankly, I'm grateful they gave it all to stick together for their kids.
I'm trying to let go of my bitterness towards my father. I don't see why he should have rights to have any presence in my life.
My mother drives me mad at times, but I love her because I know she's done everything she can for her kids. Same with my grandmother, who also raised me.
I choose "Other" I already dont know my father and my mother seems to love me but has said some pretty fucked up things. Ive honestly never been a close as most families are.
No. I fear and respect my dad but he was always a cruel man. Beatings with a broom, throwing books at me and making me stand half-naked as he screamed at me were all things he liked to do.
He never cuffed me across the face but shoves, kicks, and slaps were common. I guess to him it wasn't abuse unless his knuckles made contact with my face.
Anyway I don't love him. I respect him; but nothing more.
I'm sorry that that happened to you
But the one good thing and maybe the only good thing that came out of it is that it made you the person you are today. Perhaps a deeper sense of empathy than some people.
I am loyal to my family, but i really don't beleive i have one. Being abused in different ways as a child, as a teen, even now from time to time, i don't really thinnk i can forgive my parents for what they did.
I always wanted them to love me and you know. But they didn't know how to do that, perhaps from their own troubled upbringings, perhaps they just liked being sadistic.
We can make our own families through our friends. And i'm happy with that :)
I love my mother, my father gave up on me a long time ago.. He doesn't have any desire to have a relationship with me, but I'm still trying to have one with him. Sad how kids have to be the more mature ones than the parents..
When I was just a little boy
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be clever, will I be liked
Here's what she said to me
Shut your mouth, your mouth
Or just you let me, let me
I can't cope with your noise, you see
I wish you weren't mine
My parents were pricks while I was growing up, but that was before there was widespread knowledge about child abuse and the repercussions of using violence as punishment.
I love them abundantly now and I have taught them how to treat me properly. We have a decent relationship now.
