[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell me this is a true story and not a troll!  I am one of those who always think I am screwing up as a parent and my sins do not com anywhere close to those of your parents.

Also, you are all high achievers.  Are you all generally pretty happy, too?[/quote]

Not OP, but my background is similar.  After a really troubled early adulthood, my brothers and I are doing very well.  Kids can and do overcome what their parents do to them. If you are over the age of 25 and still blaming your parents for stuff, you need to look in the mirror. [/quote]

OP:  I wouldn't go this far. Neglect, abuse, and pain leave deep wounds, sometimes too deep to ever really heal. Some people are more resilient than others and it is a shame to blame hurt people for being hurt.

I'm the person that you are responding, too. There is do doubt that it's a burden that you can carry your whole life.  I don't blame people for being hurt. I don't blame people who try to get better and get out, but can't. I blame people for being hurt and refusing to do anything about it. You can get on with your life or you can wallow in the mess that your parents made for you. If you refuse to try to get better, that's your choice.  If you haven't started moving on by 25, and your life is fucked up, you're the person who is responsible. [/quote]
