Are your parents jealous of you?

Postby crystal_richardson_ » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:28 pm

Mine are. And they would also try to ruin $#%^ for me too. Like I had lots of friends when I was young and my mom would try and ruin my friendships, right, like say $#%^ about me that's not true, etc, etc. I don't have many friends right now but something is wrong with me - it's not because of my mom interfering.

And whenever she saw me tanning or upgrading my looks she would say $#%^ to try and bring me down or interfere with whatever I was doing. And she would interfere in my fun too, like if she saw that I was getting too much attention she would interfere if she could.

I always feel like I'm in competition with my parents. My dad praises academic success and intellectual prowess, but then sometimes degrades academic achievement or intellectual pursuits and calls me an overachiever disparagingly. He's jealous right? The really funny thing is, when I complement him on his high general intelligence he lights up like a Christmas tree and it's like he just won the lottery or something.

My mum is I think

It's because when we fought in the past, when I still lived with her, she'd always go on about how 'I'll see how hard it is to manage $#%^ when Im an adult'
So adult I am and I'm very successful. I've been sending my mum money as soon as I got a good job because I felt sorry for my brother who was then underaged. Every time I came home after that though, although they had money, the situation in the house would become worse and worse. My brother did what he wanted, she would do nothing to discipline him but yell and go into hysterics, she herself was engulfed in her own $#%^ as usual, it just hurt to watch. I told them I'll send them money only if they make an effort themselves because I'm sick of old excuses, my brother has become like her now- master of excuses and wasting his life.
So now she's jealous of the fact that I actually made something of my life, that I see better than ever how much #######4 all of this is and was.
She always makes comments on how 'I look and dress like a vogue model' and won't ever buy her any clothes. Or give her money because 'I was lucky in life and she wasn't'. Lucky in life my ass, I'm scarred, my emotions are scarred, I'll never be truly happy because of her #######4, her lack of attention, constant abandonment and complete lack of motherly instincts. But Im ######6 LUCKY because I have money which I work my ass of to earn, when she never maintained a job in her life.
