My parents were so wrapped up in their lives, especially after splitting. Which I get, they were trying to figure things out, but their daughter (me) still needed them at times & they were ALWAYS too busy with their new partners. I gave them space but after I while, I gave up —
I would reach out to them multiple times, ask how they were doing and it was always dry responses. Never asked me how I was doing. Yes, even though they split they were acting the exact same. I gave up, didn’t text as often. Also, when they did reach out, 9/10 it was for a favor-
Which I ALWAYS did for them. Until one day, I didn’t. I was just so tired of helping them, reaching out first, not getting anything back I just stopped. THAT IS WHEN they flip the shit back on me like “i never hear from you anymore, Lauryn” you would if you just reached out first
It’s early af, I’m not usually up this early but I got a text from my dad the other day basically saying that I suck at communicating and it’s just been heavy on my mind. I’m so worn out mentally. They have always done this my entire life — victimized themselves.
There is so much more I’m not even touching on because it goes too deep and I’m not about to put everything on the internet but I just wanted to say I’m tired y’all. I try to be strong for everybody. My fam comes to me when they need help because they know I’ll ALWAYS be there
They do not feel guilty about using me. They take advantage of that, in fact. I’m done.
