I grew up in a dysfunctional family where as a child I was physically abused and neglected throughout my childhood. Now I’m grown and they need me more they I need them; should I still acknowledge them as parents? I tried to give them my respect and when they ask me about my life, I would tell them what’s going on but after giving them a brief of my goals and accomplishments, they would put me down and said that I am stupid for having such goals. I think at the age of 23, working in a large investment breakage firm is a pretty good job but they say I will fail in my goals. I forget to tell you, my parents are on welfare, meaning they are failure themselves. They constantly say that I am stupid and no person would want me as a mate, I am pretty good looking, woman stare at me and flirt with me all day, but my parents would only say the woman that have interest in me are whores. People say that in order for a person to be complete, he or she must forgive the wrongs of the parents and go on. I did forgive my parents but when I try to start at the beginning and want to start a positive relationship with them, the abuse starts again. I tell the this but it seems as if they are not hearing me and there response is always, your stupid and I know what’s best, I am smarter than you. However, both of my parents don’t have college degrees or anything near such status. Should I say the hell with them and live my life. Cut them out of my life forever? Please no religious stuff, I’ve read them and as you all know, the bible is subjected to “personal” interpretation. So what you get out of he bible is not the same for me. So please no religious quotes.
