Anybody ever felt their parent held them back?

[Samori Toure]

When you get older you all will understand your parents a little better. Parents are human and they have human failings. They could only teach you what they knew and they probably couldn't see stuff for you, that they couldn't see for themselves.

Your parents couldn't have been that bad if you turned out decently. Live. Learn and Love.

My mom made me repeat the 5th grade even though i passed it , she said i didn't learn enough.

Yeah with these mentally unstable genetics I inherited

black people need counseling.

given our history, which we tend to constantly overlook for some reason, we fail to realize the impact that that has on us.

a group of people who come from slaves with no remediation or reparation to the various physical, mental, spiritual, cultural, and emotional issues that have arisen from being victims of RWS is not going to be the ideal group.

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

Yes.


Got a late start on a lot of shyt because they didn't prepare me for it. Had to learn how to deal with females on my own, how to take responsibility, how to hustle n get off my ass...I still love them both dearly, but I get mad sometimes....

In a way and my mother had good intentions but it caused limitations in both me and my brother that I had to correct not too long ago.

She had a shyt childhood and she made resolve a long time ago that she would make sure her children were loved and not go thru what she did. And considering we're in the hood of Chicago, she made sure her kids wasn't gonna be them ones who get caught up in gangs and street life like even my half older brothers got caught up in. Problem is that you just can't completely spoil your children either cause it comes a point where they will need to do shyt and not know how.

I had to learn so much shyt my freshman year of college with being alone for the first time....literally simple shyt like washing my clothes and light cooking. I didn't know how to do any of that. So I basically had to "grow up" in the span of a couple months.

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Yup but i was able to adapt n do my own thing plus i am going to do the exact opposite of both my parents which is good for my future seeds

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Yes in some aspects

That's why my dad stop trying when I was around 19.

My mom I don't listen to her period she told me a lot of things which ended up hurting me in the process

 

[Heafcliffe]

Yeah, to a degree. Not their fault. Parents didn't know what they didn't know and remained in that state.

I am thankful that I broke that mold; always wanted more and wasn't scared to do so, which caused familial (parents, siblings, etc.) rifts.

Now, we really don't talk and its for the best.

Same with me when I moved back to Chicago

My mom pushed college so hard it wasn’t even funny, I think she was slight embarrassed when folk would ask where I’m going and I’d hit em with the

I never talk about this irl, but my mother blocked my father from seeing me all the time as a child. He once came down to my town looking for me before and my mother sent the pig she was fukking to go and threaten him until he left. I didn’t know the man wanted anything to do with me until a couple years ago when he started trying again. In my ignorance of the situation I bucked at his attempt so my mother decided to tell me the truth about what happened. He’s still trying but I won’t see him because if I end up loving him I’ll hate my mother and I’m already just going through the motions of being a loving son. She most definitely held me back from having a complete childhood.

I’m still greatful though. She showed me that even with a woman doing everything right on the surface she could still be an evil bytch who steals far more than she gives to you behind your back.

Her holding me back from anything now isn’t even possible. She has absolutely no say in my life and only hears from me twice a month. My woman talks to her way more than me.

Wished my parents facilitated a more academic environment for me instead of being more focused on themselves which left me to become a product of my enviorment.
