Is it normal that i want more from my parents?

65% Normal
6 Comments

When I was younger I often felt really worthless, because I had bad grades. The other kids thought I was stupid, and I got bullied because of it. Now I got into a good high school, and understand that grades don't define how smart you are. But the bullying happened, and I feel hurt or offended when people say something, they didn't even mean in a mean way. I still sometimes have the feeling that people think i'm stupid, so when they ask what grades I have, I lie.
My dad never really cared, he never asked me what's on my report card, and he never studied with me. My mom cares more, but she leaves everything to me. When I tell her how i'm sad, and that i'd like her to spend more time with me, and care more about my school. She says that I want too much, and that it's not normal. I am depressed. I hate the weekends, I end up sitting at my computer, trying to find support and entertainment. Whenever I need to know something I ask the computer, not my parents, and I hate this. I already told my mom multiple times, since I was little. I miss spending time with my family. And I don't speak with my dad.

    I am very sad for you. What you're wanting from your family is entirely normal and so are you, they're the uncaring selfish ones and you deserve better.

    I hope you can make your own family with friends and not be too hurt by these abnormal people you happen to be related to

    I know the feels. I envy people who have such a good relationship with their (nice) parents, and they turn out so much happier and better in all aspects of their life. I feel like if I got more emotionally from my parents, I'd be a much better and happier person. It feels like I was deprived of something so simple and necessary.

    I feel what what your saying man don't ever believe that your asking for to much with what you said in your post. Come out to your mother till how and why you feel the way you do. I pray and hope your able to chance your relationship w/ your mother. I would strong recommend you to find another family member ,a member of staff at your school anyone you can place trust inn just some one to call on for help. The internet a great tool for learning but dont for help with that type of thing. I wish you the best if your still unable with your mother turn to another family member may sure someone know how you feel and whats going on with you..

    The school thing I could understand a little bit. When it comes to helping with school work there is a decent chance she could feel intimidated by what you're learning compared to what she learned back when she was in school. Of course, I don't know her level of education.
    Everything else about this? Very sad. Have you tried being with her in HER hobbies yet...where she can't get away from you?
