I know that in some ways,
I've disappointed you.
And that's why I can't ask you for help anymore.
You always made me feel stupid,
you always made me think I could've done better.
You always told me not to cry,
you said it isn't pretty.
I know that you're disappointed in me,
because I wanted to know who my mother was.
But just know that,
I'm disappointed in you, too
For keeping me from finding out.
I've disappointed you.
And that's why I can't ask you for help anymore.
You always made me feel stupid,
you always made me think I could've done better.
You always told me not to cry,
you said it isn't pretty.
I know that you're disappointed in me,
because I wanted to know who my mother was.
But just know that,
I'm disappointed in you, too
For keeping me from finding out.
What do you do when you think your parent could be cheating?
“
A lot of
people feel like they’re victims in life, and
they’ll often point to past events, perhaps growing up
with an abusive parent or in a dysfunctional family. Most
psychologists believe that about 85 percent of families are
dysfunctional, so all of a sudden you’re not so unique.
My parents were alcoholics. My dad abused me. My mother
divorced him when I was six…I mean, that’s almost
everybody’s story in some form or not. The real question
is, what are you going to do now? What do you choose now?
Because you can either keep focusing on that, or you can focus
on what you want. And when people start focusing on what they
want, what they don’t want falls away, and what they want
expands, and the other part disappears.

but
speaking
from
experience, if your parents are
constantly telling you something is off about that boy or girl
you brought home, you should probably pay more heed to their
words than an eye roll or flippant “you just don't
want me to grow up”. They know. Their keen
judgment is like a sixth sense. None of the subtlest warning
signs that you've been too carelessly infatuated to see
have escaped their notice. Nine out of ten times they
aren't saying your new friend is giving off toxic vibes out
of jealousy or selfishness or pure spite; they've sensed
something sinister beneath the smile and manners, and
they're telling you for your sake. Not so they can ruin
your life and keep you all to themselves and ensure you
don't get any. They only want to protect and guide you, and
they deserve more credit for their efforts than condescending
disbelief and disregard. Take their well-intentioned advice
into consideration now, and you could possibly spare yourself a
world of disappointment and hurt later. I've learned
‘mother knows best’ the hard
way.
They
mess
you
up,
your
mom
and
dad, they
may
not
mean
to but
they
do they
fill
you
with
the
faults
they
had
and
add
some
extra
just
for
you.
