[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, she didn't have a say when you chose to bring her into this world. The sacrifices that you made were on you. When you made your choice to have her, it was an expectation that you would give her a decent quality of life.

Sure, not everyone lives up to this expectation, but really, you want to receive accolades for doing what was expected of you?

Guess what - I also was given food, clothing and shelter growing up, and got an education. I was raised in what I believed to be a normal family. It wasn't until later that I learned just how much I was actually abused and set back by ingrained misogyny. Turns out my parents provided me with more than I bargained for. I'm 38 and not about to "appreciate" those extras any time soon.

Curb your narcissism and take any appreciation you may receive for your parenting as a very generous gift - not something you deserve.[/quote]

I concur that something happened to you along the way, and hope that you can find a good therapist. [/quote]
