Hi, I don't really know if I'm in the right place here. But I am sooooo fed up of holding it in that I think I really need to let it out.
I have 2 small kids 4,1.5 and a lovely husband with separated parents but both of them very respectful, interested, supportive parents. They have their problems like any family but none that makes them forget he real idea of being a family means.
My parents are horrid. My father is a narzisist. Always was... I am an extremely successful woman (I'm the first one having higher education, I speak 5 languages, I am hard working and I try my best at everything) I have a lot of flaws too but I am just trying to say... Their would be no reason to be ashamed of being my parent... My father hast not met his granddaughter who ist almost 2 because he can't be bothered to visit or make an appointment. I haven't seen him for 3 years for no apparent reason. He calls, I say hi, he dumps on me talks about some irrelevant stuff like politics, as if we saw each other yesterday. I ask do u wanna come for Christmas... No no I volunteered to work. Or some other crap.
My mom is a victmized depressed nascisissist who all the time believes everyone else has it better than her. Commonly saying she is suicidal (for years now!) I 2 months ago said she should come over for a while and maybe help me out with the kids and she could move in with us so I can help her out and she soenst need to be so lonely. (she came, spend horrid days crying she misses her home, the weather is crap here and she is not independent and I work too much).... Oh well... Tha she proceeds to telling me that I am so lucky for having everything I have and the money and the brains etc and a Saint of a husband. When I was tired from work after working 11 hours strait and I had the flu.. Welas taking care of everything with fever and still taking care of her. I flipped out. And she accused me of being so agrssive and I would understand how much of a victim she hast been her whole life... When I confronted her that it was her role to "man up" and be the adult for me as I was a child in a shitty household she says shhhheee was the real victim. I got everything best and I had so many chances that's why I am where I am. Things were just given to me. Doors were just opened and I just had a fantastic easy ride. (p. S. Needless to say I left my home ith 18 to study abroad alone! Against my will! I had to learn the language, I was allowed to come home 1x a year... I had to study hard to get my tuitions payed with scholarship otherwise they would not have enough money and would have to die of hunger. - their true words!!! I finished with honors but nobody came to graduation. My dad had to work.... 😑 And my mom was not able because she would not manage to travel by plane because of her horrible fear of losing herself in the airport.
My mom offered to come over when I was pregnant around the both to suport me and pulled out last minute because "something came up".... I developed postpartum depression and she made it about her.
Well I could go on for years.
Problem is.... I feel horribly jealous of my husband for having a family that wants to share life with him. They wann see our kids, play, they call, right letters, fly planes etc...
They want to be there for me too... But its not the same. I feel glad for my kids but the more I see them the more I hate my parents. Can someone relate?
Thanx for this space 😒
