[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the people your parents are helping are only random to you, not to them.  They are mostly their neighbors and friends, who are involved in their daily life.  Those relationships are important.  Obviously family relationships are also important but it sounds like more occasional stuff than everyday stuff.  I'm not surprised when parents make choices that affect their everyday lives and relationships as opposed to random occasional plans with their kids.[/quote]

What you, with your limited life experience, fail to realize is that this is a long standing pattern of behavior. When you experience this, starting at a very young age, you learn that you are not a priority to the person you depend upon and need the most. You are less important to the person you should be most important to. You cannot depend upon your primary caregiver. You wonder what's wrong with you. You work to please that person so they will attend to you but, repeatedly, you're shown you just don't matter that much.

It's not just painful. It's very damaging with a life long impact.[/quote]
