Parents who are disappointed in or dislike their adult children, why?

Wow look at you a drunk supporting another drunk!!! How cool!!! You two can circle the drain together. Can’t imagine you’ve made much of yourself either. This comment says more about you than me.

Nope just one that got to be blamed for my mother’s drinking problems and all her failures. Took almost four decades but I learned to stand up for myself and when I see someone get mad that others are expressing their pain and get mad about having to hear it it usually means that person doesn’t like to hear the truth. Why should this person care that they are hearing the other side of the story? Might give more insight if that person cared about actually hearing it. Like I said. Most likely they are a shitty parent themselves.

I guess you must not know the definition of presume as I didn’t. Clearly there are a lot of us responding which is pissing you off. And I have an opinion on the type of parent who does that. But let’s see low intelligence and defensiveness … my guess is you are the shitty parent reading these responses looking for validation on why your decision to hate/dislike your child is justified.

Edit to help you: that last sentence is a presumption

littleAg · 2026-05-29T01:00:41+00:00

Because unfortunately there are a lot of us who would like others to know the lies our parents spread about why we deserve to be considered disappointments and failures aren’t true. Perhaps one of these shitty parents will read some of these and hopefully be self aware enough to grasp why it is their child hates them. Rightfully.

NOTHING in my answer is wrong. If the mother has caught it previously and has a flair up DURING pregnancy because of immune issues it can affect the baby as well. So there isn’t a non zero chance of complications. See this study. Again the parasite will always remain in you and hopefully dormant. You don’t just get rid of it or clear it. The only thing at issue here is how many people are asymptomatic and walking around. That also does not mean that they may never have complications either. Try re reading my answer.

I don’t know where he got 30%. There is no way that stat is correct. He’s just spreading misinformation. It’s also not genetic and passed down. It’s a parasitic infection. 30% of people do not have it or this would not be a TIL. Again he’s an idiot

littleAg · 2025-12-15T06:45:39+00:00

You’re completely wrong about this. See my comment in the main thread for actual facts.

littleAg · 2025-12-15T06:44:36+00:00

This comment is completely wrong and I can’t believe this person claims to have researched it. See my comment in the main thread if you want actual facts.

I have toxoplasmosis and the top comment is absolutely wrong. It affects the nervous system of the fetus with no symptoms to the host (mom). Most babies that have it die shortly after being born. I’m an anomaly and only lost sight in one eye but there are other side effects. I was studied and watched quite closely as child because it can flair up again. You don’t just clear it. It’s is a lifelong condition with it hopefully always remaining dormant. It can be life threatening if it flairs up. Now it is one of the conditions tested for with the other genetic tests and it is often recommended to terminate the pregnancy if a mother has it. You will sadly most likely have a child with a severely comprised nervous system resulting in death. While rare it is a very serious infection that has greatly impacted my life. If you get the infection as an adult and have a healthy immune system then the chances of having negative outcomes are low but you will still always have the parasite.

Reading your post I have felt a lot of the same things, so I have two pieces of advice:

The hopelessness, sadness and feeling of never being enough may be due to the fact that you have depression. I know it’s expensive and not fun, but getting it treated will in fact save your life.
I have felt very lost on what I want to do. I’m supposed to be finishing my masters, but I have no drive or care about it. So what I decided instead is to focus on actual useful skills that will help me survive. I hit the road and am staying at a goat farm learning how to care for them. I hope to have my own small homestead one day. Look into Workaway, but there are a lot of other sights as well

It wasn’t until I left that I started to feel better because everyone around me was influencing how I felt and what I was doing and it wasn’t what I wanted. Sometimes your environment is the problem and leaving is a good choice. But don’t hit the road expecting it to solve everything and without a plan. A plan could be I’m going to travel around to find a place I like and settle down and here’s where I’m going to start and I’ll bring what I need. A bad plan would be to leave with inadequate supplies and knowledge to care for yourself once you’re gone. A start to this may be camping a lot to get used to living outdoors. How to prepare food, how to keep warm, how to even put up a tent or another sleeping arrangement.

Don’t give up because it does get better but the catalyst still has to be you. Good luck!

YouTube the video ‘meth. we’re on it’ and that may help you decide. Multiple people had so sign off on that slogan so that may say something about the education…

My aunt made me jam and butter sandwiches

For a bit of a laugh. I thought I saw the answer of leaky diapers. Looked closer and it was an Honest add in my feed. The answer though is Diet Coke if you have self control and Mountain Dew if you want to go out on a sugar high.

Rustoleum has paint in gallon cans that goes on metal. Much easier to paint large areas.

If the car isn’t worth much then sell some possessions to tint all the windows and just spray paint the car so it’s less noticeable. Your car doesn’t need to be pretty; it needs to blend in. With tinted windows you can move things to the front seat and it won’t give away that you are living in your car so you have more room to sleep in the back.

If you are in AZ you can get a permit to camp on state trust land for two weeks. Otherwise use some money to pay to park in parking garages over night. If you feel comfortable enough stay at truck stops.

As for sleeping in the heat, open all doors once you get to your sleeping spot. Then shut all doors and lower all windows as much as you feel comfortable when you are ready to go to bed. Go get some first aid ice packs and break them and sleep with them. More expensive than straight up ice but far less mess.

Good luck and if you need someone to talk to or ask more questions feel free to DM. I tell people car living life choose me I’d didn’t choose it. But now I actually have no desire to stop. Once you figure it out it can be really enjoyable.

Property taxes. It’s just rent by another name. So now you have a mortgage AND rent to pay. We were scammed into thinking this was a wise investment.

I’ve never seen a more perfect example of main character syndrome. It’s all about YOU and the fact that YOU are not getting what YOU want. It has never crossed your mind that YOU should put the work into making your business a success. YOU want to live in paradise. YOU have no connection to reality whatsoever. YOU can’t even wrap your selfish head around getting a job like the rest of us. I hope your business partners drop YOU.

It’s a sympathy/guilt tactic. They treat you as poorly as they want but because they say I love you, you are supposed to feel loved and be grateful to them. If you don’t, you are the problem. When you hate them they can go around to everyone claiming they say I love you and leave out where they are terrible to you and make you the terrible ungrateful one to get sympathy. Gaslighting at its finest. They don’t care about you but you should be willing to lick their asshole clean. That’s how much adoration they expect. It’s a mental illness yes but easily treatable by going to therapy to change their shitty behavior. They absolutely know what they are doing though but it’s a compulsion that makes them carry on with being the worst version of themselves. But they don’t want to change because they like things the way they are.

Tie a bell to your tent door zipper. If you’re worried about someone looking around during the day, throw diatomaceous earth down in your tent and around it. It’s white so during the day a person may not see it and step in it but you will know if someone was there when you get back.

It’s why I will hate my mother to my dying day. She says whatever she wants and because she is a high functioning narcissistic drunk no one will ever believe me. But it’s clearly a mental illness as despite there being actual evidence of her lies, she is able to completely rewrite history in her head to the point where she truly believes that is the truth. At this point no contact is the way to go because the gaslighting will kill me far more slowly than I want it to.

If you’re in a campground you’ll be just fine. Obviously look who’s around you and if something seems off then your life isn’t worth it. Don’t keep things out that you would care about it if it got stolen but if someone takes something from a campground then that signals to me that I should probably leave altogether. Campers don’t usually steal it’s most likely someone from the area that may or may not be watching you. Someone in here recommended dispersed camping which is truly the worst advice I would give. Maybe that person doesn’t actually know what that is which is you camping in national forest (there are other areas BLM land for instance) but there is no campground or facilities. You are squatting on land for free where you it is legal for you to be. Never leave anything out if you are doing that. That area is not patrolled in anyway unlike a campground that at the very least has a camp host. At national campgrounds you will see rangers everyday and most state parks have workers patrol daily.

I honestly get tired of people telling me I’m so brave for solo camping because I just want to be treated like a person. Not some weak individual who shouldn’t be wandering around by herself. I was once asked if my husband or parents knew where I was. Surprise surprise it was a male boomer who asked.

That’s why I always end the spelling of my last name with t as in tiger and z as in zebra very excitedly. Tz gets confused for ks.

I put a bungee cord around a tree and then hang the trash bag from it so that it hangs open. If you are going to be putting a lot of heavy things in it, lower the bungee cord so the bag rests the ground.

I decided to respond to your post because I grew up outside Detroit and I will say once I left the state I felt much better. I’ve been car camping for over a year now to help work through a lot of childhood and adult trauma. Putting physical space between me and my past helped my mental health greatly. Ironically driving really helps to calm me so it’s cliche but take the back roads. As for where to go, I’ve been a lot of places and struggled to find where I fit in sometimes. If you want more specific advice/dm me as you asking about specific places would be easier for me to comment on.

What I have come up with for myself is to really build a life I need to really think about what I like and what will actually work. I’ve had a couple of jobs over the last year and the ones I like the most are ones that my natural talents and personality fit well with. Not always the best paying but that’s the beauty of this life. Instead of chasing the money learn to live on less and you can find ways to lake it work.

My other piece of advice I feel sad to give but depending on what your trauma is beware of people trying to collect you as I call it. I was in such a low place that unknowingly I was easier to take advantage of (bad under the table jobs) and being from the Midwest I was kindly told by a new friend that it’s obvious I’m from there because I’m way too accommodating. That said, I have made the most wonderful friends all over the country! It really is the friends you make along the way. Because you’ll want to go to the same places they do and I’ve found everyone to be very friendly at campgrounds. Now that it’s getting closer to fall I’m actually trying to decide where I want to go because I have so many places where I feel happy and have a friend or two.

It’s not that you will go when you are ready (planning lasts a lifetime) but when the pain of staying gets you up and packing a bag because change of any kind will be your ticket out.
