...worst thing a parent ever said to you...

Post Reply New Topic

I'll start: "You're depressed because you're a freak, can't you see it in yourself?" - my father
"If you really cared about me, you would've never told me that Daddy touched you down there."
(so, if you tell your mother that your father is molesting you, that means you don't love her) - my
mother.
The world wonders why I don't speak to my parents. What a horrible daughter I am. Yep.

Nothing.

I have been asking advice and people have been telling me about problem parents recently. You certainly aren't the only one who doesn't talk to your parents.

Are people judging you negatively for not talking to your parents? That's not their right to do to you.

Hey RightGalaxy.

A few years ago, my mom told me that I haven't accomplished much and didn't amount to anything. I know that she loves me, but tearing me down isn't the most effective way to motivate me. My dad has said some hurtful things too, but I'd rather not say.

Anyways, it reminds me of this quote by Philip Larkin:

"They f**k you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you."

The quote has some truth to it. I don't agree with the post as a response, though. Nothing compels OP to copy a parent who is selfish and cruel.

OP you don't live with parents now, do you?

i havent told my parents about me having A.S but my mom once told me to change. change my personality, my attitude, my way of talking, thinking etc.....it just hurt cause no matter how i want to i cant change myself.in the first place its their fault im like this cause i got it from their genes.

"You must've asked for it." -- After I came home bruised and bloodied from an attack by bullies.

I'm not sure what was the worst. I remember being shocked when I read on a magazine a letter sent by a girl about the age I was then to a psychologist, according to which she seemed very upset because her parents had told her she was a human misfortune. To me, that sounded like something you should be used to hearing from your parents. Mine have repeatedly claimed I have a poisonous mind, and I've always been mistreating them, being grossly unappreciative of everything they did for me, and generally abusing and hurting them, right since my birth. They've also always been angry with me for my low self-esteem, which is just another way to insult them, by not appreciating the privileged life they gave me and the prime inborn qualities I inherited from them, which I've so disgracefully squandered.

But what really hurts is to know they're right. Well, except the prime inborn qualities part. Truth hurts.

My parents kept reminding me throughout my entire childhood that they regret having children. I know that raising children can be tough but please don't do this...

Giving birth to you was like being tortured.

You're father didn't feel that he should be responsible for taking care of you.

You look like a spastic.

Thanks, Mum. That did wonders for my confidence.

My dad told me I needed to be fixed.

that i was going to end up alone

The worst thing a parent has ever said. Hmmm. Let's forget what they actually do to you and instead focus on the verbal abuse you've endured. Like that helps, but hey, I'd know from experience, too. Here's a poem that I wrote regarding my parents.

Leave Me Alone

Please. Come help me.
Come, gather 'round.
I will open my mouth,
Yours will cut me down.

Please. Listen to me.
Listen to what I say.
The words might I speak,
You disregard anyway.

Please. Lift me up.
I have fallen down.
The flaws that I have,
Only have you found.

Please. Forgive me.
An error have I made.
Forever hold against me,
Until away I fade.

Please. Come prove me.
I will surely fail.
Never add I up,
My ship ne'er took sail.

Please. Leave me be.
Never were you there.
I will help myself,
You'll see how I fare.

-The Clown

Oh, and if you are depressed today, here's a crazy thought: Autistic babies don't smile
because they know of the life that is in store for them. I made that up, but hey, it's a thought, albeit babies know virtually nothing. Still depressed? Want to laugh? Great!
'Cause I am the Clown, and clowns are funny. I have posted, and will be posting more, funny comedies on Wrong Planet (usually in the Random Discussions area). Just look for a post that bears my name (Jacob Alexander). . . . But remember that not all of my posts are funny. I can be serious. Mostly, I try to do what I can to make other people's lives better. Remember to comment (even though I often forget to do so myself)! And have a descent day.

That it was better if I tried to kill myself, so they would get rid of me.

(Actually it was my uncle who said it, but he said it on my mothers behalf, because she send him instead of talking to me in person herself.)
