I am going through a very bad personal time and my (very bad) family is not helping me, my parents did not work, they bought my clothes at the market, they are anti-social and suffered/suffered from depression, they did not clean the house, I learned many things on my own, you have no idea how many times they scolded and blamed me for trivial reasons, and said certain things to me that could tear a child or teenager apart. Above all, they could not afford to have a child (I also have siblings). This is pure selfishness. I also have a physical problem that I have had since childhood, but because of their neglect I have carried it with me to this day (I have been looking for what I had for years). You have no idea the teasing, the humiliation I have suffered from my family. Now I'm 20 years old and my parents demand that I work right away, when they at my age didn't work and were breadwinners (and there wasn't even the unemployment and inflation of today). Looking at my peers makes me cry for the childhood and happiness I never had. As a child when I went to kindergarten or preschool I often cried, who knows why, I was too young to remember. I'm willing to make efforts now but honestly if the worst case scenario happened I wouldn't care
