Its incredibly alluring to blame your shortcomings on your parents and no doubt that they have their own share of blame, but all youre doing is running from the fact that youre the one screwing up. Youre never going to improve if you keep blaming them, because youre not going to be able to face yourself. You want a challenge, this is probably the biggest one youre ever going to face.
Im not gonna say that your life will magically improve once you get these feeling behind you. Im not gonna say that youre gonna get rich or fuck gorgeous women everyday due to a miraculous boost of self confidence. But you would have at the very least finally faced yourself and that will surely feel rewarding and fulfilling. At least youll never fall on the same pitfall ever again. Youre only a loser if you want to, because even the poorest of fucks can have a family and be happy. You may have your own regrets, but let those serve as motivation, rather than anchors.
So, take this piece of advice from me, if nothing else: Youre not alone in the world. People everywhere were victims of their upbringing, including me. Some people manage to bring their life around, and I believe that every person has the strenght to do so. Its never too late to find happiness, and people worse off than the both of us have managed to do it, so whats stopping us, if not ourselves?
