Do you ever wish for different parents?

[radar311]

Hello! Sorry for my grammar mistakes, english is my second language.

Like the title says, do you ever wish that someone else was your parent? Somehow it feels humiliating for me to even think about that.
It's just that I come from abusive household. My dad was abusive, rarely mom too. My dad died when I was 12, probably from suicide, but that's another story.
I am in psych ward right now and my mom hates it. I am grown up now and she literally says that i am imagining most things. And week ago she said things that made me so suicidal. If I wasn't already here in mental hospital, I would be dead right now for sure. And then the next second she said she loves me. What the hell? She just dont know (or dont even want to know) anything from mental health.

It just hurts me. Why was I raised like that? Why didn't i never had parents, who cared about me and who didn'nt hit me or abused me verbally? Or at least let me have that safe space at home, where i could talk about abuse, that happened in school and other places? Why didn't i get to have warm food every day? I wish i grew up in different family i guess.. or at least died very young..

Anyone else thinking that?

Yes I often wish for more compassionate, warmer and more loving parents. My grandmother who sadly passed away more than 20 years ago was the closest I have ever had to perfect parent. She was so caring, warm, comforting and full of unconditional love. Too bad she passed away when I was so young. I miss her almost every day after all these years.

I'm sure everyone who has abusive or emotionally absent parents wishes they had loving, empathetic, supportive ones.

Sure. I would've wanted poorer parents with a stronger else for their children instead of them relying on blackmail to chain their fiction "fake rich and upper class" status. And I've told them this too and due to their blackmail I'm currently homeless

My father is wonderful, loving and supportive and I wouldn't trade him for someone else as a parent for the world.

My mother was... well, she did actually love me, I'll give her that much. That's all I can give her. But a parent needs to offer more than love alone, and she wasn't a very good parent otherwise. She knew about my mental health issues and self harm when I was a teenager and did nothing about it. She witnessed one of my sobbing breakdowns that ended with me biting the hell out of my own arm and did nothing. She called it teen angst and thought I would just grow out of it. She was also very unaccepting when I came out to her as transgender and said a number of terrible things about it. Overall she was also an emotionally immature person who probably shouldn't have been a parent. I would have preferred a different mother. Maybe my life would have gone better if I had gotten help at an earlier age and the initial acceptance I needed.

 

[Forveleth]

All. The. Time.

I am here partially because of them.

 

[Bishop]

Yes 200%. Have a narcissist father. That the only wish I more than me not existing, is he not existing.

 

[DownwardSpiral]

every day

 

[radar311]

Thank you all for answering. Feels better that I'm not alone.

 

[Spite]

I wish I had a father who actually loved me.

 

[gardenoflonely]

All the time. Even got DNA tested as a teenager out of desperation, hoping there was some type of mistake.

I love my mom, but I wish for a new dad, sometimes I don't even understand why mother loved a disgusting alcoholic cheater that brought nothing good and just ruin her and me even more and now she's a single mom working hard just for me, I hate him with my whole heart

 

[Zura]

I wish for them to have a better child than me lol

Sometimes yes, but sometimes I feel like I'm the issue instead and that my family deserves better. In your case, you deserve a better family.

 

[starboy2k]

ABSOLUTELY.

My mother is a certified dunce and if I had the heart to do it, I would've killed myself in my early teens mostly because of her.

 

[tomame]

hell yes.

though i feel my personality contradicts everything God wants a 'man' to be like .. so, equally .. i actually feel sorry for my parents

 

[usernameless]

Yes. My parents are the direct cause of the way I am. However, now that one is long dead and the other is getting old, it's my sole responsibility to fix what they broke.

I hate my dad. I think he deserves to die. Its weird. Not only do I lack a good father, the father I have is an abusive alcoholic. My mom refuses to leave him because he'll probably kill himself. But thats my greatest dream

 

[itsallogrenow]

I've always wished I could have had different parents, would probably have cleared up a lot of the issues that I currently have.

 

[ThisMan000]

My parents treat me like Rapunzel as they refuse to let me go essentially anywhere unless it's to accompany them because apparently they think I'm too retarded to stay home alone. What's even more retarded is that they complain about me spending too much time online, as if I have any other option.

My parents babying of me didn't start with my depression, it's been like this since forever. I've never been diagnosed with autism or any other ND condition I don't really think I am ND despite some people swearing up&down I probably am. Anyways, I brought up neurodivergency because I think it's a possibility that my parents suspect me of being disabled and that's why they treat me like this.

If they actually do suspect me of being disabled or something, I have no idea why they didn't just bring me to a children's psychiatrist or something, I guess I'll never know.

 

[TwistedNightmares]

Every single day. I wish for a better family in general. Not just for better parents.

 

[rainatthebusstop]

I don't think I would have turned out the way I am if both of them weren't the people they are. And I mean that as derisively as possible

 

[Larnahh]

I think about it A LOT. Basically, they've taken away any chance I had for a normal life and future. Thinking about it makes me feel guilty tho

Pretty much all the time, I wonder how different life would be if I had parents that cared a little. It sucks how so many families are so bad. I hope you have close friends to support you, in a way they could be family.
