[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a kid like this and my parents were busy and it was a case of benign neglect. I asked them to send me to boarding school because I wanted more challenge at school than I was getting. They didn't take it seriously. I wanted more attention and someone to talk to. I was consumed with my social life and in high school, by socual life and dating. I quit the sport I was good at. I had no plans or goals. My parents could have made a huge difference if they had talked to me and spent time with me and if they had given me rules and limits. I wanted them. [/quote]
+1. But some on here are dismissing the parents responsibility which is nuts. [/quote]

I don't see that on this thread. I see some people offering empathy and ideas and some people just being mean and "holier than thou."[/quote]

People interpret direct and honesty as “mean.”
 So ridiculous and not helpful. You are actually mean in caring more about yourself 
for wanting to be perceived as nice rather than what the family needs. [/quote]
