Not being able to choose the parents is a sad part of life. I would be very happy if I had parents who genuinely loved and cared instead of being the exact opposite. Besides that they lied and thought no end of themselves.
They were violent and mean all the time. When I was small, they could away by hitting me and being abusive.When I became older they demeaned in front of family and friends. Running me down every opportunity they got. Ignore me and act as if I did not exist. The friends I made did not meet their approval, because liking someone is not good enough for friendship. Their idea of friendship meant people who can be used to get something in return for friendship. As a result of their attitude I avoided having friends - because never be good enough for my parents.
They used to do this in my childhood, way back then I felt as if I was invisible, anything I said or did, did not matter and because no one wanted acknowledge my presence - I felt like killing myself
When I got married, the only person who would listen to me and spend her time with me is my wife.One day my mother was crying. When she was asked what she was crying about - she tearfully asked since when I had become so important that I am getting all the attention. She had clearly exposed her attitude towards me - I was not important and I did not deserve any attention from anyone.
When my professional fortunes changed, I got hired by a prestigious company - the reaction of my entire family who had been led to believe that I was good for nothing were dumbstruck. My mother who was responsible for running me down, was exposed as a liar, who never failed to say mean things about me. My two older brothers were just like her in every respect and my mother was more attached to them, particularly the eldest. I remained an outcast. I really envy those who loving and caring parents who never ever said an unkind word, never were violent, were always encouraging and proud.
I would like others to share if they have had a similar experience in their life
