Moms and Dads

I know a lot of kids out there in the world have terrible parents, and I mean extremely shitty moms and dads. I can tell you that you're not alone, and I can sit here and say that there's so many more people who care about you, and although that's true, I'm not going to tell you the same old stuff.

I have a super crappy dad and I honestly want nothing to do with him. We've all been there, right? We watched one of our parents walk in and out of our lives like we're some kind of doormat. I think it's time to put an end to it. You are not obligated to love your parents just because they brought you into this world.

I've given my dad what seems a million chances to change himself, and just when I think that maybe he's doing better, he goes and blows it with words. I know I'm tired of spending seventeen years hoping he'll change. I hoped that me and my sister were enough for him to want to switch his life up for the better, but if we were enough, he'd have quit by now.

I don't want other kids growing up feeling obligated to love their parents just because they were your sperm/egg donor. No. I can honestly say I hate my father with a passion. I want nothing to do with him and I wish he wanted nothing to do with me. He's got this twisted idea that he's still able to discipline me and tell me what to do despite not knowing who I am due to all the years he left us alone.

If you're reading this, then I want you to understand that you don't have to wait till your eighteen to get away from your crappy parents. You don't have to spend your time hoping for that day to come faster. I want to tell you that it's easy telling a parent you don't want them in your life because all they do is screw things up, but it's not.

Depending on your parent, you can do this one of two ways. You can either rip the band aid right off and have it over with and deal with the aftermath later, or you could carry it out over a few months. I want you to do whatever you feel comfortable with, but whatever you do, stop letting your crappy parents rule your life.

There's so much outside the walls of your town or city. There's a whole world to experience out there, and what fun would that be with your mom or dad constantly wanting you to stay in town because they missed out on so much on your life and they don't want to miss this part? They don't deserve to see you grow and you don't owe it to them because they are the ones who walked out.

And you don't have to do any of this alone. Bring your closest friend with you to lighten things up, or anyone you trust. If you think that your dad or mom will do something that could get you hurt, then alert the authorities. Have them stand watch, cause it's always good to be safe than sorry.

It's not going to be easy, but I can promise you that after I got rid of my father, my life has been a lot less stressful. If you're worried about hurting your mom or dad's feelings, just think of all the times they hurt you. Do you really want to care about their feelings when they never cared about yours?

You deserve more in life than to spend it in the shadow of your shitty parents. Go out there and do what you think is best. You owe it to yourself and no one else.
