Hard to say really.

I would say I do blame my mother for not working harder to overcome her own mental illness. She showed me one very clear messege growing up.. if something is hard, hide from it. Her illness and paranoia also made me isolated from my peers and have issues socialising.

However, I'm thirty now. Anything I do or do not do, any issues I do or do not have, are now within my control. I've had a decade or more where I could and am overcoming issues, and without those issues I do not know the person I would be today.. I might not like the person I would be if my mother had not done the things I blame her for.

My birth I guess.

But in seriousness, I can only blame one of them for being too over-protective and worrying far too much, while I blame the other one for being a scumbag and a total coward.
Wow that... that sounds remarkably similar to what I was going to say >.>

I'd say my existence, and dad purposefully trying to ruin my life so I'd have to live at his place and have him salvage some of his dignity was selfish of him. I could blame a lot of things on my parents really, though I managed to work around it.

So fitting its not even funny-


EDIT= my issues and hang ups are mine, my folks didn't do a great job but they did their best, and I love them dearly. I know people who had truly terrible upbringings- a friend of mine had an abusive, bipolar father who has since been sectioned, the guy has stories that are just plain harrowing, has this caused him to hate and blame his father for his problems? no, and he still visits his dad regularly. Learn to accept responsibility for your own failings, its a fundamental part of growing up.

I don't blame my parents for anything. They tried to raise me the best they knew how, I am incorrigible. Even if they had been "perfect" I still would have made the same choices. I am responsible for my own actions, no one else.

I blame my dad for my current height.

All the men on my mom's side of the family are 6+ and I'm 5'6 because I got the f-ing Cuban genes.

I blame both my parents for not putting me or my brother into therapy when we were kids. Both of us turned into screwed up adults, him much worse than I.

I've been in and out of therapy for a few years but I think it's just too late.

Add that to the fact that I do absolutely horrible with women. I think it's mainly because of my height and the fact that I've been really quite and reserved most of my youth. I'm better now but still not results.

very sensible advice

even if they did mess you up, after a certain point blaming them will only get you so far
maybe "our own actions in life.... i believe the fact im living is definitely the cause of actions my mom and dad made... by that i mean the phone call to the stork kids.

As any young adult I suppose, I ended up blaming my parents for a lot of things, amoungst them for my trust issues and believing in long-term relationships. Over the years though, I believe they did the best they could, which may or may not have been enough, but with some kids, parents will most likely screw up their children no matter what they do.

I'm happy they got divorced now. Why stay together and be miserable? Go mom!

I blame them for my hatred of the idea of having children, hatred of family life, hatred of anything pedestrian, and my cynicism.

I blame my dad for showing me how much fun it is to pass snide remarks about people and how to straight out insult someones intelligence without them really catching on that I'm doing it.

I blame my mom for raising me such a way that I cannot say no to anyone who asks me,face-to-face, to do something for them. Or give them money or steal a baby or take them to the airport and back or kill a man in Reno...

They gave me life, whether I wanted it or not, so they gave me everything, including the weariness, pain and physical laws - in short - everything.

My glass isn't just half empty, it's also dirty, cracked, and swiped.
