[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After I got my first real job, I wrote my parents a large check as a thank you for supporting me. My father scoffed and snidely commented that he wouldn't have sold his favorite gun if he'd known I was going to write them a check. I understand now that he's always had mental health issues, and that his issues aren't my fault. But for so long I wondered why he hated me.[/quote]

It’s extremely strange to write your parents a check. They chose to have you, of course they had to support you.[/quote]

I disagree. All behavior makes sense if you understand what leads to that behavior. It would seem to me that this woman wrote the check because she was never made to feel like her parents wanted to support her, or it was a burden to parent/support her. So paying back what felt like a debt is not "extremely strange." I can relate. Consider yourself lucky that it would feel strange for you to feel compelled to do that. [/quote]

But you can never pay back all they’ve done for you so it’s a useless gesture.[/quote]
