yeah, been feeling down all day. this morning i managed to get myself feeling better by thinking happy thoughts (like that time i almost burned my face off making a chicken flambe. that was a fun day). then ofcoure my mom (not you tubs) goes and wrecks it as usual. she goes and tells me that her and dad are gona get me a new bed and stuff, like they told me several times several years ago, back when i was little. or like how dad keeps saying that he will fix my computer so i can print again. and a million other things that use to fill me with hope that something good was going to happen, and then they never made good on their word. now when they do it, it nearly incapacitates me with anger and sadness. it makes me so angry because it was one of the things that made me so angry growing up. parents are supposed to be some one you can rely on, yet i never could, not even to take me somewhere. they would always put off taking me to the store till the next day or next week because they were "tired" or some other dam excuse.  it's like i'm to angry and sad to yell or even talk or form thoughts or anything. it's days like that i just want to walk out of the room, but they would take notice of that. and then make an issue of it. and that's always just another headache. one i never need.

Parents are supposed to be someone you rely on? Is that true, well yes in an ideal world that would be true!

Parents let their children down, in what world do they not, show me one. I can tell you there  isn't one, parents let their children down, and children let their parents down.

What makes you angry is not your parents, where were your parents when you wrote this blog, were they there, making you angry, my guess is that they were not, what made you angry were your thoughts about your parents.

 Think about it, were there times, that your parents did not let you down?. For example, did your mother cook you dinner, did your father buy your clothes, you coud find examples of your own, where they did not let you down.  They let you down on some things, but did they let you down on all things?, did they let you down on everything? Maybe they were tired, maybe they were doing the best that they could.

Who have you let down, would it be true to say you have never let anyone down, in your whole entire life. There is no one in this world that has not at some time, let someone else down, did they mean to? I doubt it. We are only doing the best we can,  and that is all any of us can do.

I am not underestimating your sadness at your dissapointment with your parents, just throwing in another angle, in which to view it with. 

If you continue to view your life, through your dissapointment at your parents parenting, then you will be always dissapointed. They were not the best at everything, none of us are. When we realise that, we can make our own decisions, and can buy our own bed and stuff, with out being dependant on our parents.

Its not down to your parents, to make you happy, it is down to you. The ball is in your court, you can bounce it, or hurl it at someone, the chances are they will hurl it back, and your the one left feeling hurt.

I know how that feels, my parents usually always kept everything off and broke promises daily. It sucks, and I've been/stall am there.

Awww Roachey. The one thing a parent should be is there for their kids, no matter what. I am really sorry that they treated you this way, I can only hope that you can find it in your heart to be the kind of parent to your children that your parents refused to be to you.

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Roachy, it's really not right. Parents should be the ONE kind of people who don't get so involved in their own stuff that they neglect others.

 I wish I could help
