I have no reason to feel guilty yet I do. Over these past few months I have started to realise how much my parents do for me, spend on me, care for me. They make sure i’m their number one priority alongside my brother which I have only just began to realise. I am very lucky to have such a caring family, i know. i know not every family is like mine and that makes me so grateful for what I have. I honestly do feel thankful. I don’t live with my dad, i haven’t since i was 3 so it’s really all i’ve ever known. Whenever i see my dad, he makes such an effort to make my brother and i happy and make sure we have everything we need which upsets me for some reason and makes me feel guilty. but that’s what parents do? they keep you safe and care for you. yet i feel sad when my dad buys me a drink, or literally asks if i’m okay. It’s the same with my mum and I don’t know how to deal with it and i’m probably just being pathetic. because that’s what the role of parenting is isn’t it? so why do I feel so guilty about small things like this...

There's a difference between a crush and romantic love. A crush is a temporary, fluttery feeling while the other is a genuine decision. I'm sure I have a crush....
Because you are clearly are good person
ReplyWhenever they offer to buy you something or give you something think of all the ways you would use that object. Can it be used multiple times? Is it too expensive? Is there a cheaper alternative? Is there a better alternative? Remember, always say thank you.
ReplyToo much good can be bad. I can't say I have the same experiences with my parents, not even close. It seems they're trying to make sure that they don't disappoint you. True parents hate disappointing their children.
Are you parents broken up?
ReplyYeah they have been divorced since I was 3. I don’t know if I have always been so young to never understand how much they do for me, and now that i am older, i finally see it. But it’s so hard to watch them both be so caring and I have no idea why.
ReplyA divorce isn't just hell for the couple. It can be agonizing for the children. And clearly your parents know this. The last thing they want for you is to feel bad about the whole thing.
Do you know why they got divorced?
ReplyYeah, i understand that. And yeah I know some of the reasons however I feel as though it’s been twisted and my dad has one story then my mum has another and I 100% think it was deeper than they have told us. I’m only 16 so I don’t expect them to sit down and tell me the whole reason, it’s hardly my business and they are civil now when they see each other. It might be a competitive thing..
ReplyYes, it's hardly anyone else's business.
I apologize but, do you believe the reason for their divorce may have been caused by the stress of a child? I know some people who got married and then divorced after the first child.
ReplyOnce you're older the roles will reverse and you can really prove how much you appreciate what they did by doing it back :)
