I'm not blaming my parents but I feel like if they would have given me some kind of encouragement...............

while I was growing up I would have been a better, happier person. There was never any affection or anything like that. And I was always left alone.Now I just have so many issues dealing with people. Is it wrong to feel this way?

No way is it wrong to feel like that. My parents were too busy getting drunk or stoned to care about us. I've had major issues for about 11 years. I'm now 30 and have just started to see a psychologist and it is really helping. I mean, it's hard to deal with at the time, but telling someone who knows how to help you really makes a difference. My mum was always in a bad mood, she'd always be swearing or yelling at everyone. I always wondered why my childhood memories are so vague, but i've realized that I have blocked a lot of it out. My sister and I saved our parents from their burning bed. One of them fell asleep with a cigarette and they were that wasted that they didn't even know their bed was on fire. I was only 4 I think, but my poor sister saw a lot more than me. Let's try to become stronger from this, if you're not seeing a psychologist, you should because they really do know how to make you realise that you can rise above it and be a better person than our selfish parents. Good luck, Lynne. I really do understand what you are feeling, and my thoughts are with you.
