[quote=Anonymous]I am the previous poster - as examples, my parent asked me (daughter) to never get married so that I could spend my life taking care of them in old age. When I was interested is trying out for a sports team in high school, instead of talking to me about it, they didn’t show up in time to drive me to the tryouts. They later admitted that they did it on purpose. They owned a small business- I became essentially an unpaid employee/nanny/housekeeper, taking care of the business, my younger half brother and the house while they worked. It was all in support of their financial dreams, all the while neglecting to pay for my college education or caring. Parent was also extremely competitive so while they wanted me to do well as that would be a positive reflection on them, I could not earn or outshine them. [/quote]
