I'd like to tell them I should never have been brought into this world and it sucks they did the deed and here I am but I can't bring myself to tell them

If they haven't caused you any intentional harm, never abused you or never intentionally caused you any hurt or pain, then forgive them, for they know not what they did.
They were just doing what pretty much everyone else is doing, having kids because they are:
1) hardwired to procreate
2) programmed to believe that having kids and a family is the dream.
The holy trinity of modern life is family-home-work. That's the fairytale. That's life.

if I could somehow talk to them beyond this mortal realm i would tell my mom and dad i love them very very much
and i know they didn't know how much I would suffer just for existing, and i know they wouldn't have had me if they knew
they are the best mom and dad i could have asked for, really did their best with what little they had. i'm sad they left me at a young age but also glad they didn't stick around to see me struggle as much as i am
i hope they aren't looking at me with disappointment. even if they are, the burden of life is on the living so they say

"It's not your fault"
I think it's a negative to be born into a bad reality which can only fundamentally get worse, but I don't see the point of blaming people. I just see everyone as a victim of this reality. I don't distinguish between people and animals in any special way, everyone is just thrown into this mess without consent.

I'd say- I wish you could have done it without involving me. I do love you both and I know you did your best. I wish you could have seen the future and taken a different path though.
"Why'd you bring me into this world to be your islamic guinea pig? I wish I'd died in the incubator." is what i'd say to my father. My mother knows I'm suicidal so she's heard my whole I wish I'd died in the womb spiel.
I may be the only one to write this, but I'm truly grateful for the life I had before it turned south.
Yes, I may have some flawed genes, but in no way I hold my parents accountable for that. It was impossible to predict how things would turn out.
On the other hand, though, I feel sorry for them. I wish I could be the son they deserved. I feel like they deserved better.
I talked to my mother about it, and she said that, if she had known that I was going to be so utterly miserable, she would have had an abortion or not had me at all. But that's the problem - by the time they find out, it's already too late. Hence, the need to have this conversation with the whole of humanity.

Even though they are the cause of my painful existence I try to not blame them for bringing me here. They just simply followed the average standardized goals set by society as everyone else and saw nothing wrong with it. Even if I went and threw all of my anger at them and debated why it's fucked up to be alive, what would it be good for. They most likely wouldn't get it anyway and I would only cause more of unecessary pain inside of someone. It's not worth the temporary relief.
Fuck you for bringing me into this world when you were so poor.
Fuck you for having me when you were not emotionally ready to live for others.
Fuck you for not protecting me.
Fuck you for abusing me.
The sad thing is, there are entire subreddits and countless FB pages dedicated to being a space where parents can anonymously voice their taboo regrets and complaints associated with having children.

By now, it should basically be universal knowledge that (for most people) having children is a shitty idea and that the majority of people alive hate ever being born and don't want to be here, suffering through life. Why roughly a quarter billion people every year decide to reproduce will always boggle my mind.

(To my parents)
Fuck you, I hate you. I hate your selfish need. You guys were never prepared to have a disabled child. You sat back and thought "oh I'll take the chances" and then when you had a disabled child you HATED IT. You didn't love it except for when it made the perfect scapegoat for the family so fuck you
"You guys tried and I appreciate that, but I am really hurt by your selfishness in conceiving me. You needed to wait and heal before having me. A baby isn't a comfort toy. I still haven't achieved normalcy from every way you failed me, and believe me I've been trying incredibly hard. I am grateful for my life, but I also can't help but wonder how it could've been if you just took the time to be ready for me first."
For context, I was a replacement for their first baby which they lost in a car accident. They conceived me straightaway, and I dealt with the aftermath of their trauma nearly my entire life. It was a very confusing and unstable childhood for me.
Knock up one of your mistresses instead. Or better yet both of you assholes get sterilized. My parents hate their kids, and each other, and probably themselves. I've never, ever seen parents with so much resentment towards their kids. My mom is on her death bed and still is mean and nasty and wants nothing to do with me, all for the crime of being born.
to my dad (not mad at him, man was clearly autistic and did his best despite it)
to my mom (my brain is so broken from trauma I never formed into a full person)
there's much more that id love to say to my ma but personally, it's too identifiable and also none of you guys' business haha
My dad passed away nearly 4 years ago and I cut my mom out of my life about a year ago. So I can tell her only.
My mom's been trying to force herself back in. She's hurt. Next time I see her I might as well tell her that it's her problem. She forced me into this world, it wasn't my decision and now I'm in so much pain. All because SHE wanted children. She doesn't get to play the victim card. Deal with it. Reap what you sow.
I'm gonna try hard NOT to tell her that I want to take my own life. I want to, I want her to really know what she's done, but that'd be stupid of me.
I wish the fuck that they never brought me in this world! I wish you would have just got rid of me! I'm pretty sure she had me because my dad wanted children and I think that's why she had me to keep him. I don't believe she wanted children.. at least not the part that came to the hard work. When I was little my mom love to put my hair in ponytails and pigtails with pink ribbons. She liked taking me to dance class and making fancy costumes and dressing me up but once I got to the age of around 8 years old it was like she didn't care anymore. I had significant and obvious learning disabilities and a lot of mental health issues. She never had me professionally checked by any doctors. She decided she wanted to go to college and get a degree in psychology. Yet could not see her own daughter had the issues that she was actually studying. You don't see what you don't want to see.. if she pretended that they didn't exist then she wouldn't have to actually do anything about them. These issues turned out to be pretty serious and because they were left unchecked caused me a lifetime of physical and mental pain. And they cost me what type of normal life and financial stability. I pretty much said everything in the last year about how I feel about her bringing me into this world. She completely rewrote history like none of this ever happened. A mother that was not emotionally available, a father that was not physically around and could be physically abusive, and a sister that was severely mentally abusive towards me. And I know she wishes I was never born.
PS This is one fucking hard thread to read.. why the fuck are people having kids if they are not going to love and treat them the way they should be treated!
