…is blaming your parents for the wrong decisions you make.
While it is true that dysfunctional parents can damage you for life, I believe that when you reach a certain age, or a certain awareness, the power to shape your life rests in your hands. How would you take all the pain that your parents caused you? Would you use it as an inspiration to be stronger and better? Or would you keep on using it as an excuse whenever you mess up your life?
…is saying sorry, and then doing it again. And again. And again. And then asking for a LAST chance every single time.
The word LAST does not need further explanation. What do you think the people you’re saying sorry to would do? Everyone has a limit, and the people who love you are no exception.
…is saying your life would have no meaning if you don’t get what you want.
Then I am truly sorry for you, because if your faith in God isn’t enough to give your life meaning, you will never be able to bounce back.
…practically summarizes all the things you said to me.
Yet, I still love you very much, so much that whenever you do stupid things it hurts me like hell. And I hate myself because I feel so powerless because you no longer listen to anyone, even to me.
So I still hope that you’ll change, that you’ll see things differently… that you won’t just acknowledge that you’re wrong, but summon the guts to actually do something about it.
I still hope and pray… for your sake.
