What's the most f'ed up thing you're parents have ever said to you?

[MattTheSkywalker]

amazing how loving some families are.

lol, I am very close with all of my siblings, and not just because I pay their bills, lol. We're all tight. We all recognize the shortcomings of our parents. They had too many kids and not enough money...good hearts but small brains. They weren't bad people, they just wanted more out of life than they were able to achieve, always in debt, never enough money, foreclosure notices, all the good shit that comes with 30 years of financial near-drowning.

We don't hate them, we accept them for who they are. To this day I assist my parents financially, and I ignore their weaknesses as best I can.

As a successful 30 year old, I have the option of walking away when they piss me off. I didn't have that at, say 10. That makes a world of difference.

"you're going to be famous one day, and be the star on a hit sitcom"

i actually wasnt the star, so my parents were really disapointed, and actually stopped speaking to me.

hey, nicely done. but i can't say the same for my family. my dad, who's long passed now, was a prick. mom grew up in Poland during WWII and has a heart made of ice. they don't like change, not even for the better.

My mother told me " I wish you were dead" and "Why don't you go kill your f*cking self"

That is terrible. I am very sorry to hear that. It look like you came out of it alright though. I don't think paren't realize how much damage they can do. It takes a long time to see that your paren't are human and that they mess up too, that's why it can be so damaging.

When I was about 6 my mum joked that I was adopted and when my dad found out what she had said to me he was very furious and told her off. lol

I have been called a couple of terrible names by my parents when we had arguments which I would rather not say.

My mum asked me a few times what is my secret for not getting pregnant which is quite embarrassing. My asnswer was always I don't know...lol

"I put you into this world and I can take you back out" Thanks mom
" I wish you'd never been born." Thanks again mom. LOL She was stressed to the hilt. I don't hold it against her.

no one will ever love you.

My situation hasn't been near what some of you have gone through. My dad was my best friend, he is now my worst enemy, he has repeatedly stabbed me in the back and attacked everything sacred to me.

It's ok, she's put me through quite alot, her and her husband. I'm definiately not going to get into any of it. It's in the past, and I've dealt with it. They are not a part of my life, and they don't deserve to be.

Although I would not wish my childhood on anyone, I am who I am today because of it, and know that when I have a child I will never treat them the way I was.

"What don't kill you will only make you stronger", this is a quote, I very much believe in.

Ummmmm - lessee.....Now remember, I'm adopted which usually means people purposely went out & got a kid!!

From my aunt: "Let me tell you how selfish you are...No?? Then no circus!! If you want to go to the circus, then you have to listen to how selfish you are." This was in the car on the way there at about 5 yo.....

"Do that again & I'm having the adoption reversed."

"If you cause your father to leave me I'll make the rest of your life a living hell."

"When you're at school someday, we're going to move away & not tell you where we went to."

"Do X 1 more time & we're having the adoption cancelled."

I'm sure there's more.....
