I love my folks and I have made peace with how I was raised. They still do stuff daily to piss me off but oh well.

Appreciate your parents while they are alive. Not until I became an adult did I understand my Father's intent. Didn't like his approach and ways, but fully understood his intent.

Great post right here. Mirrors my own take. A lot of stuff became clear in my older years.

I firmly believe a individuals parents is the single greatest determing factor in how someone turns out.

So no. I do well in spite of them, not because of them

This is the flip of the coin. Not everybody needs to be parents as they are far too selfish. It's sad the children suffer and yes it can lead to issues in adulthood. Can these issues be risen above? Of course. Do they? In about 65% of the cases they do and I'm being generous. Parental nurturing is underrated. People tend to inflate its value if someone is successful and downplay it if they fell short in any perceived way.

You need a ton of school to be a surgeon and understandably so.

Anybody sexually active can be a parent, though. It is a wonder sometimes that this ship we call mankind hasn't sunk 500 times over.

they gonna piss you off then you’ll change your mind again. my mom is pissing me off as we speak about packing her highly excessive luggage for the airport

if we came up with a lifelong pie chart of her allocated outbursts towards her children i probably make up 74% of it. she just don’t like me. even back when she didn’t have an excuse to not.

she acts sentimentally aggressive in my presence like a weirdo nothing i do will ever satisfy her ass

now if i finally lose my tolerance for it im scapegoated as the bad guy whiner blah blah blah

 

[africngiant]

i would literally be nothing if it weren’t for them. im gonna graduate in 3 days

the duality of an african child

Love them.
They need me more now more than ever.

I can't imagine growing up in a dysfunctional broken family single mother setting..
