[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I don't think snarky/angry posts from people who don't receive any help from their parents are appropriate.   OP is entitled to feel hurt by her own parents' conduct.  These are her parents.  She's discussing her family, her family's dynamic.  It doesn't matter that other families go it alone.  For pete's sake.[/quote]

I think many were heartfelt an reality based.  Sometimes we need to know how good we have it to appreciate what we have and that knowledge can help us get over our feelings.  "It could be worse" is one of my favorite phrases.  Setting lower an often more realistic expectations is one that I have also learned. [/quote]

Lowering one's expectations is always appropriate.  Having to deal with an angry tirade from someone whose parents don't provide enough help is not going to help anyone.  We all could use more help. There's a difference between helping someone see the bright side and scourging them because they don't.[/quote]

Well, her sense of entitlement seems to be getting in the way of her having a happy life - it's worth pointing it out to her since she asked.[/quote]

Please explain how anger stemming from parents leaving during a crisis is related to a sense of entitlement.   Wanting to have a good relationship with one's own parents is not entitlement.  What the hell are you talking about?  This is seriously wrongminded and I've been on this forum for 10 years.  This is beyond fucked up.[/quote]

The entitlement comes from the expectation of two more months of help after her mother came and helped for two months. It is this anger that her mother was unable to do more rather that being grateful for receiving the help that was given.  People posting that they had no help are giving the OP a reality check. She needs to figure out why she is angry.[/quote]
