Well they forced me to pull the genetic short stick between the two of them. I got all their bad traits and none of their good ones. They were also fundamental in another decision that caused me even more problems, when they knew better. There was yet another point in time even earlier on when I was a child that they could have changed my fate but instead, they did no research and did not get second opinions, so allowed the wrong things to be done that left me even worse off.
They are god awful in being sympathetic to my struggles even though they technically created them. My mother has gotten a bit better about things but her attitude changes on a dime. It depends on her own mood, how sparing she will be with me.
I don't think they anticipated having a child with my type of stuggle. My dad has issues regardless but my mom would seem a lot better to me if I wasn't born the way I was and if I perhaps, had a completely different and easier to tackle problem. She did try and she has qualities of a good mother as long as her children are "easy children." She can't handle difficulties (and my father complains about his own difficulties trumping everyone else's.)
But I can't help it. I didn't ask to be born. Or to have this face and body. I tried to change part of it once and ended up screwed over.
My siblings and even my cousins were not cursed in the way that I've been.
My parents become frustrated with what they created and the fact that I am so upset about it.
It really makes me wonder what they would have done if I'd been born mentally handicapped or had some type of syndrome or something that requires 24/7 care. And more money than anyone could imagine. Or even if I was a wild child who partied and did drugs and got into loads of trouble (of which I was the opposite).
What would they do with their frustrations then?
All parents should anticipate the worst when deciding to have children. Don't have kids if you don't think you can handle the worst case scenario..seems like most parents can't even handle anything marginally close to that. I was threatened to be abandoned in the past. Which is very scary when you have issues that cause you to be dependent. Granted, I am on my way to CTB anyway. I still don't want the rug pulled out from under me while I plan and prepare.
So yea, ultimately they do bear the main responsibility for my being here. In terms of both nature and nurture. But I would get by just fine with them if nature was a little more kind to me.
I do not need perfect parents or a perfect family. I just want to be comfortable in my own skin. My extreme level of personal discomfort has ironically lead me to feel numb or indifferent in other areas of life that would bother most people. I lack the most basic level of freedom a human can experience, so everything outside of that just doesn't seem as bad or as important in comparison.
All the fights and horrible things said to me or threatened to me by either parent , any chink in the chain of my upbringing, it just can't light a candle to the bigger picture for me-of why I am in this predicament.
So I still blame my parents more for their mistake of creating me vs their mishandling of their creation. Because if I started out how I wanted to, I don't think anything they could have done-alone-would have me end up here. It was more of a domino effect that they set off by conceiving me in the first place. Bad luck really.
