Parental Tangent


Another way I dissapoint my father. Shocker. But I can't help it, no matter what anybody thinks. It's not my fault my father decided not to use a condom. It's not my fault that I was my mother's only successful pregnancy out of seven. I know I'm unwanted and unloved by the cruel things called my parents, but I love them anyway. Even though they are over-critical and make me feel like I do nothing correctly. Even though they have basically torn apart any self-esteem I've had. I'll just show them what I'm capable of. Hopefully I can do that right.
