You can blame everything in life on someone else. From what I've learned with myself and mental issues is: Blaming someone doesn't change the fact I have them. I need to focus on getting myself better, and quit whinning about my past. Why focus on the bad when there can be so much good around the corner? And yes, there is good....you just have to find it!
I have always been suicidal-bipolar etc.. and was mad at my parents because of my childhood -- It got me no where feeling sorry for myself.
i think that you can for the most part... look at alot of foster kids these days... children that are neglected or abused are more likely to have issues involving anger, or just ADD or ADHD... but if you werent abused and you just had bad parents, now it is time to become yourself and not be influences by bad people
well if you were brought up bad as a kid, of course you won't just be a normal adult!
who're you gonna blame? your hamster?
Until you become comfortable in dealing with your past. At some point in your life you have to let the past be the past. Move on and replace positive things in your life. Dwelling on the past is very unhealthy. Deal with that situation and surround yourself with love and compassion for others.
This is what I have heard..When you were a baby your Mom put you on the toilet backwards..shame on her..now you are grown and you still sit backwards on the seat so shame on you
We all have baggage and problems with our families but we need to deal with them and move on
I think parents are responsible, for life, for any harm they put their child through.
There is not an "exact" length of time or age, for the child/adult to take responsibility for their own life, when they have been abused by a parent. It could be while they are a teen, young adult or an older adult, depending on the mental illness, what and how severe they have or if they are able to get help and learn to cope in the world. It's hard to say because everyone is different, as well as situations.
Sadly, there are children who grow up mentally ill adults, due to parent abuse. The parents should be held responsible, no matter if the child/adult is capable of overcoming their adversities.
There are times when the mentally ill child/adult decides to stand up and say I will not let my parents actions control my life and seek help. Perhaps, they have realized hanging on, is like being abused all over, again.
But, just because this person gets help and is on the road to a new, and better life, doesn't and will never take the parents off the hook, for what they did!
