Being the first born can be like drawing the short straw

[offtoseethewizard]

I had really innocent parents who had no idea how much bad shit a kid could get upto if they were impulsive and depressed like me. They never really drank.

My younger sisters could look at the mistakes I was making and learn what not to do.

I had no one. I was the prototype with no guidance.

Not great to realise.

Don't know if this is a common experience or not

yeah it is. if your parents arent a great role model, then you just feel lost.

also when i was younger i felt that i had to be the role model for my younger siblings. idk of this is how you feel, but its my experience.

I guess it's definitely a case by case type of thing
