My parents completely crushed me and my dreams, any signs of hope, discipline, hard work, assertiveness, or progress I showed in pursuing the things I wanted in life would be met with:
"You're poor"
"You won't succeed"
"You don't have what it takes, you we're not born into that"
"Study this career like the son of this and that person, they're about to graduate and they're gonna make a lots of money"
"Put your feet on the ground and be realistic, you don't have
Their definition of success is archaic and stereotyped, they followed a set of stereotypes that weren't meant for them and ended up beaten down and drowning in mediocrity, mental and even financial poverty.
I never had real support, interest and acceptance from my parents to do anything I wanted to do, if it wasn't done their way I was just not worth of succeeding.
I resent them in secret to this very day, it's a wound inflicted by them that never healed and I don't think it ever will, for how much it contributed to my downfall and misery.
