Discussion Are you angry at your parents for making you born?

[likeblueberries]

Angry is too strong a word but I simply don't understand why having me; they were not together before I was born and failed at getting back together multiple times during my childhood, I think that should have made clear what would come next. I'm not sad I wasn't aborted like my mom has clarified I could have been, but I think it would have been better for everyone if I had been, including myself.

I mean if you're considering aborting for one reason or another then you probably should do it, since you're already aware you're bringing a kid into a poor environment for development.

If they were good parents, no, but...

-and I always get pushback or someone fighting me when I say that. Maybe they weren't the worst, but their best lead me here. So be it.

Maybe resentment because they just made me born (esp. father) to use me as a tool, a slave and abused me severely.

no.... honestly im actually grateful to them for giving me the chance to live as a human. i think humanity is this cruelly beautiful thing even though i hate it at the same time. the resentment i have toward my parents is about specific things they did or ways they think — but about the fact that i was born? no.. the issues I deal with nowadays are mostly the result of stuff I did or didn't do, so that's on me. my parents just influenced some of it

i really am. especially because my dad left pretty soon after i was born, and my mom was very unequipped to have children, let alone 3 others besides me. we didnt have enough money, it was neglectful, and traumatic. i wish she never had me. sometimes im grateful i can experience what i have, sometimes i think the hardships made me sturdy and tough, but then sometimes i become tired and weary and i just dont want to deal with it anymore.
