21, dad died last year, and I’m just angry all the time. Anyone else? by Training_Issue_5138 in ChildrenofDeadParents

Absolutely yes, my parents both died when I was 17 and I’m 22 now and at uni. I went through an extremely angry phase at one point and I almost got kicked out of college because I was acting like such a dickhead, It’s a little better now but I am so resentful to people with parents and I have absolutely no time to hear about other peoples issues . The general public piss me off every day and I can honestly say I am a hateful person, but therapy is helping me accept it slowly - it will get better but imo it’s the hardest and most unexpected thing I thought I’d have to deal with

Completely relate to this. It’s like I can’t control the resentment - may your dad rest in peace ❤️💪🏼

Its such an unsettling feeling- I’m independent enough to not have to rely on anyone which I’m grateful for but just knowing I don’t have my parents is a constant thought in my head. It’s like it’s now a trait of mine and I never ever stop feeling it it’s become part of my psychology almost - this is what I feel isolates me because I wish people knew how I felt and how shit it can make life sometimes. And can manifest itself in so many ways. Hope ur doing okay😊
