Today, I realized my parents are pretty much single-handedly responsible for all of the mental illnesses and personality disorders I have now. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML
Today, I opened up to my parents about my depression. Their response was to have a very heated discussion about whose fault it was. FML
Today, my parents kept on trying to create drama in my long-distance relationship,and telling me that my life is a mess. But when I tell them they played a huge part in my crippling anxiety, they change the topic. FML
Today, my parents happily announced that they're getting remarried. They divorced because of the strain brought on by me nearly dying in a car accident. So basically they put us through all that shit, including me blaming myself for everything, for nothing. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents made a game out of my mental illness. Every morning, they have a bet on which one of them can make me cry first. FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML
Today, I found out my parents only had me in an attempt to fix their relationship. It didn't work. FML
Today, I realized that as both of my sons have been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, they are just like me. I guess that I'm really good at masking or the perimenopausal rage has me questioning my whole life. FML

And who do you think is responsible for your parents turning out like they did in raising you? Would you say their parents? The chain of misery either continues or someone has to break it…. I get it, some of us lucked out with the parents they had and some didn’t. There is little you can do to change who your parents are. You can however (with difficulty) change how you respond. I am very sorry that things are the way they are. But I think the best advice is to concentrate on a plan that will ultimately let you live your own life and then stay away from your parents as much as you can. That means preparing for a job or career that will let you live on your own. In the meanwhile focus on what you have to do now and be a friend to others so you will have a friend to be there to support and encourage you.

Yeah, sounds about right. Usually it’s parents or a partner who cause that shit. In many cases, it’s both.
