why do my parents blame me for everything?
The story
it's like no matter what i do, it's just never enough for my parents. i'm a 19-year-old guy, and they treat me like i'm some sort of burden. lately, they've been talking about divorce, and guess who they blame? yep, me 😑 as if i have that kind of control over their marriage; i've tried to be supportive and understanding, but it seems like they're set on pointing fingers at me... they say everything's my fault because i'm not perfect or whatever. idk how they can actually believe that?
i thought growing up would mean more freedom and less drama. nope! instead, it's constant arguments over trivial stuff. maybe it's the pressure they're under that's making them lash out? still feels like an unfair burden to shoulder. they should talk about their issues without dragging me into it.
sure, i haven't always been the easiest person to live with (who hasn't had a teenage phase) but come on! this blame game gets real old when all i'm trying to do is make things work at home. there's only so much someone can take before snapping.
so yeah, here i am wondering: is there ever gonna be a time when they'll see past my mistakes and realize that their problems might not revolve around me? or am i doomed to be the perpetual scapegoat?
