I am a product of toxic parenting


I am a product of toxic parenting. I was raised by a father who is a narcissist and a mother who never had enough attention from her parents when she was young. Growing up, I always had to be the adult, the practical one, the mediator between my parents.

My father is a person who believes he should not spend much for his children but it is very important for him to satisfy everyone out of the family. To him, I was nothing more than a trophy. A trophy that he has groomed for him to brag about outside. But never once has he supported any decisions, I made for myself.

I am always having to be the one to fill in empty shoes for my mother. I had to be the support system her parents should have been. I had to be the person who showed her love and appreciation when it was her husband’s role and I also had to be the friend because she has given up on having them because of her husband.

My parents never once had a happy day. Ever since I could remember, they fought all the time. And usually it is about money. It came to a point where even if I needed colour pencils for school, I was afraid to ask, because they will start fighting and put the blame on me. If there was something my parents are good at, it would be the ability to put the blame of all their mistakes on everyone else but themselves. My siblings and I has always been blamed for everything that happened in the family. Because of us, they can’t have a life. Because of us they can’t enjoy. Because of us, they can’t meet their friends. Because of us, they cannot separate. It is always because of us.

Growing up in this environment was similar to growing up during wartime. I have become someone who has low self-esteem and confidence. I was easily bullied at school and college. I was even being taken for granted off by my own cousin. Whenever I asked my parents for support, they ask me to handle it like an adult, suck it up and live with it.

I even visited a psychologist when I was 18, trying to get a solution to all my stress and that was when I realized that I probably am going into depression. But I could not seek further help. The psychologist was my mother’s friend and there was no privacy and secrets. I could not afford to go for therapy because I was busy trying to pay my tuition fee. Yes, I paid my university tuition fee.
Everything of my life had to be by my parents’ approval. The course I choose, the clothes I wear, the makeup style I prefer. Everything had to go through an approval process. If I made any choices on my own, I am always ridiculed and called out as dumb and stupid. My love for dancing, my passion for writing, my interest to learn new languages, all of it is ridiculed if it is not up to their preference.
I started piercing my ears when I turned 21. In total now, I have about 10 piercings around my body. When I started piercing, everyone started labelling me as a thug and rebel. What they did not know was that I was diverting the pain in my heart and mind by inflicting pain in other parts of my body.
Before I know it, I was already working and earning some extra money. Even though I know that my parents have caused me so much hurt, I still always show them that I appreciate them for raising me. I always tried to be the daughter they can be proud of but never once I heard them telling me that they were proud of me.

Thank God, I found a man who loved me without expecting anything in return. Finally, I had someone to rely on. Someone to trust and some who is genuinely proud of me. Someone who supports my passion when the whole world is laughing at me about my choice. But I still feel empty sometimes. Because suddenly now it hit me that to my father, I already mean nothing to him because he has a mistress and the mistress’ children is more important to him. My siblings have to beg my father to pay for their tuition fee but someone else is enjoying the luxury.

My husband and I are trying to have our own children. But I am afraid. What if I become like my parents? What if I hurt my child the same way my parents hurt me?

So, it is my humble request to those who are parents now and who wish to be parents and a reminder to myself. Having a child come with the responsibility of raising them without expecting anything in return. If you are daring enough to have a child, please also muster up the courage to raise them whole-heartedly. Don’t blame your children for the decision you make. They are not responsible for you to lose your youth. If you feel you want to have fun, then don’t have children. Please understand that the word ‘mother’ and ‘father’ is an honour that comes with huge weight. Respect it and be the best version so your children can be proud of you.

I have always fought to be the best daughter to my parents but I am very embarrassed of what my father has become. People say that children should not be embarrassed of their parents and I disagree with that. Why are children being blamed for the mistakes their parents commit? Children can also be embarrassed of their parents.

No true love..

Sometimes I feel like I am chasing something that I am not sure of. I wanted a guy who can give me happiness. But now I am able to give the happiness that I wanted from a guy to myself. The happiness that I am looking for is so different now. Is it possible for a guy to fall for me for my attitude and heart. Not my body. All the guys that come into my life just wants to touch me. Fulfilling their lust is what they want from me. Not even one is truly there for me and who I am. Sometimes I hate myself for letting me believe that such love exists. Now I have totally lost my hopes and trust that such love exists.  A guy who truly loves me.. that quote is never true. There is no such thing as true love. Being hurt and used so many times makes me hate guys even more. They can be my friends.. but I don’t think they can be more..

World's cruelity

I have always been posting bout my life n what i went through.. that is very selfish of me to only think of myself when people around d world face even bigger threats.. from small crimes like theft, then murder and sexual assault to d gang man slaughter that is happening in this world.. i cant believe that i was so selfish.. always dwelling with my feelings only...

Last night, i watched a documentary called India's Daughter.. a documentary that was made to open the eyes of many people, especially Indians. So much in d documentary that was true. I agree that there are many men who wants to protect woman, but then, research shows that 40% of men in this world, things that women are harmless and to be taken advantage of. So many women out there who are at risk even before marriage, let alone after. It is either a physical abuse or mentally. Women are at risk when they go out, they are also at risk at home. Don't women also have rights for freedom? Is a girl who is sexually assaulted responsible of the crime that was done to her? Can't she have as much freedom and rights as the men? If u tell that a girl should dress properly to avoid rape, then why ladies in Purdha are also victims? If you say that women should not go out at night, do they have to stay at home and rot while u ho around having fun? Men are made to protect women, not harm them. It is really sad how sexual assault and domestic abuse keeps going up. Are men threatened that ladies are starting to stand on their own feet? These are the qustions that i want answers especially from some irresponsible people. This is the 21 st century. It is the age where women are independent. And yet, men still disrespect women like humans during the Old Age. As a woman, it is sad and painful to kbow that i am nt safe because there are predators out there.

It is sad that people consider man slaughter as a from of teaching.. Humans have no rights of hurting each other. You dont decide who stay alive and who dies. There are so many families are sacrificed for pleasure and joy of certain parties. Certain religion and ethnics are wiped out because some people wants to show power. Just remember, in any religion, the teaching is to make you a better human. You don't have any rights to hurt others or decide what others should do. God is there and he will surely punish people who does bad things to others. How heartless could a person be that he doesnt feel any remorse after doing all the bad things he has done. So far, i dont recall hearing any baddies saying that they regret what they did. The best part about this is that they can ask, 'why cant we do it?'..

Just something to think about.

Confusion

I m in a terrible confusion...  kekadang tertanye pade diri whether m I expecting too much...ak sayangkn lelaki ini tersangat.. tp salah ke ak mengharap??.
Ak matah dgn diri ak tetapi xtau cm mane nk lpaskn..  die jadi.mangse keadaan emosiku yg x stabil... ak risau dan takut.. apa klu die tinggalkn ak kerana ak mengharap. Ak sering cube mengikut kehendak die kerana ak tidak sanggup kehilangan die.  Tetapi, ak menyakiti diriku sendiri.. ak menunggu supaya die sedar yg ak teramat cintakn die. Ak ingin hubungan yg simple.. tetapi ak sendiri merumitkan keadaan. Ak sungguh tidak pandai berlakon. Tetapi biler ak bercakap dgn die, ak cube sehabis mungkin untuk sorok perasaan ak. Ak benci dan mafab pade diri ini apabila ak terlepas kate. Ego ak tinggi. Kekadang, ak sedar yang ak bnyk menyakiti die. Mungkin sebab itu, tanpe die sedari, die menyakiti ak juga. Ak telah jatuh cinta kepada seorang yang sgt sibuk dgn hidup die sendiri. Hanye ak mengharap die akn hanye memikirkn tentang ak bler kami bersama. Tetapi ak tau itu x mungkin. 나만 보는 남자가 가고싶었어. 근데, 그건 안돼고같아... 나 어떻게 해야돼?? 어떻게하면 그 사람 네 마음은 볼수있을가??

I am back

I am at last back from Port Klang... at last..  m out from the hell this people call home.... before I left, the daughter of my so called uncle sent me a sarcastic text..  she said tat I dunno my place in her house... that bloody brat us 5 years younger than me and she is advising me on how I should leave my life..  she is a total brat that thinks highly about herself. Spoiled and wasted...  I can be sure that girls like her will not be able to live without being with their parents cause they are so used to staying under their parent's armpit... spoon fed and taken care like a princess and she thinks she can talk to anyone..  she is telling me that I dun deserve her respect..  that I should earn it... well... I respected her as a human and as my uncle's daughter and she can say I dun deserve her respect??? What does she thinks of herself??? Does she thinks that she is some kind of princess ruling the world that she can decide who to deserves her respect??? No bloody manners... I just hope she doesn't come to UPM cause if she does, she is gonna regret..  she will never survive the world and trust me, she will obviously go through a cultural shock and hanyut... that time I will see if she can earn my respect..  go die devashinee p.

My courage

I m taking a lot of courage to tell my mom everything... I wrote a letter to tell her everything and clear all her doubts... I want her to understand that I m not like what my uncle describes me... and she as my mom should know that better than anyone in the world... I am a bit taken aback that my mom chooses to believe on other people besides me... just because I went out with a guy without her knowing...  and he gets the blame cause my mom accuses me for not being focus.... hmmmm.... if I m not focused, will I be able to score..   she do not realize the amount of stress that she cause me when I am sitting for my exams... she also don't realize that no matter how stressed and disturbed I get after calling her, I still call her before my exams... she thinks that I do not love the family anymore... she do not know how much I miss seeing my family and every time I go back, I just get heart broken.. they condemn me and bad mouth me In front of me... they also ignore me and find me irritating... why should I rely on a family who do not bother about my feelings but want to know every shit I do... haaiiizzz

my sad life story

i feel really sad and hurt today when my mom said that i am a disappointment... am i really a disappointment??? if i m a disappointment, i would not haves studied well and would not have been able to score the results i did... just because i have someone else to talk to now and someone else that i call, my mom is thinking bad things about me...my family are very caring over me and i love them so much... but at times, i just feel like as though i am not appreciated... no one is interested to hear what i wanna say... everyone is condemning me as much as they want... all they ever do is discourage me when i feel good about myself... i can never end a day with happy feelings.. whenever i am happy, my mom just calls and ruin everything... she said that i have changed since i left the house... she said that i m loosing my focus on whatever i am doing... my mom is thinking that just because i met another guy that i am able to talk, i m not coming to my family... what is there for me to share to them anyways???

all they ever do is interfere when i am talking and talk about some other topic just because they are not interested to listen... i need someone to tell my stories... i m talkative... no one but that one guy who has taken interest to know what i am doing... my mom says that i should talk to her.. but she don't realise that she was never interested in the first place... she thinks that i am too stupid to not realize that she was never interested to know about my matters in the first place... sometimes, it hurts when u put so much effort in everything you do and people around you just cant appreciate that but hurt u more and more... is it too much to ask for attention from my loved ones?.. my mom don't realize that i feel really lonely here and i need someone to talk to and entertain myself... she calls me often, but that is to check if i m still alive, and behaving well in her cousin's house... she never really heard what i have to say.. sometimes when i talk to her in the car, she pretends like she is listening, but i clearly know that she is not...

yes, its my fault to bring that guy to my uncle's house before bringing him to my parents... it is wrong that i went put with him without my parents knowing... but i have already put a stop to all this... my dad said that its ok if i wanna communicate with him... but today, once my phone bills are out, my mom is asking me who am i talking to... now i can even talk to him??? is it too much to ask??? i just wanna talk to him cause i feel like he seem interested to know what i did and what i learnt everyday... i like talking to him cause we joke around a lot and he just knows how to make me laugh... but my mom barely does that.. she calls me often but she never joke around with me like this... she jokes around with me when i am at home by condemning me as much as possible... i have come to a limit that i have given up trying to make my mom  and dad proud... i m tired of trying to satisfy to everything they aspect from me... i know that they are still supporting me financially, but i dun think so that is what parents are for...

if i am a disappointment, why didn't she just kill me??? if i m a disappointment, why didn't she just poison me to death???? if i am such a disappointment, why did she wanna talk about me to others in the first place??? i am sick of all this... that guy is the one guy who helped me put my heart back to pieces when i was depressed... that guy was the guy who stayed by my side when i felt like i m alone... is it wrong to be comfortable towards someone like that??? my mom is telling me to not make any decisions know... i am not... i let the future decide... i wanna enjoy my life know... i wanna enjoy the time i have now... i wanna live the life i have with everyone by my side right now... i dunno till when can i live like that but as long as it continues, i wanna do it... is it too much or is it too wrong to aspect my family to respect me and my stands???
