Parenting is the process of helping a child develop into an adult. My parents never did anything to ensure their own children were successful in life and the purpose of parenthood is to prepare their children for adulthood. It was their responsibility to show me and my twin brother how to be adults. My father didn't provide Dale and me with driving lessons, nor did he purchase a car for us or assist with finding colleges or covering tuition fees. He has never did anything at all to ensure two out * of his children were successful in life. He even said do you trust those idiots behind the wheel? He also said I'm not buying them a car and they are not going on my insurance. He showed significant favoritism towards David, teaching him how to drive, purchasing his first car, covering college expenses, funding his EMT training, and frequently buying him video game systems, while neglecting to provide similar support to his other children. First of all I think it would be a good thing if my dad got in trouble for stuff he actually did rather than just getting away with stuff second of all how is he taking care of us if I'm asking and begging the church to buy me a pair of sneakers? I wanted to share with you a concern regarding the lack of support and involvement from my parents in our home. I have observed that some parents, including Dale's and my own, do not seem to prioritize their children's well-being or provide them with the necessary support. So my father said something like the twins is on their own and when I asked my mother about it she said that he said that the twins are old enough to be on their own but my father never taught us how to drive or helped us with a disabled bus if you are too disabled to drive and we have no income so I don't know how we would survive in the world we don't even have the glasses we need we usually borrow our mothers because I and Dale have bad eyesight. My mother said the twins friend is calling and my father said " fuck him" then when she said that's the twin's friend he said " fuck him" a second time. My oldest brother named David my father paid for his college, taught to drive, and bought David a car, David has an Xbox and tv in his room. I and Dale don't have any of those things. I get very stressed when I hear about my cousins and other people my age going to college, driving, and having a career, but I don't have those things. Because people my age they do so many things and I don’t. I have felt that way since the age that people my age usually start driving, but it has probably gotten a lot worse since then. I and my brother named Dale we are 25 years old we will be 26 years old in and we haven't been taught how to drive or anything like that we haven't had college or any further education past high school. My family doesn't help us with stuff about furthering our education and being productive without someone from the government or a friend I can find online doing it no one will. Of course, good parents are supposed to treat all their kids equally with kindness. Instead of choosing one over the other and playing favorites. What do you think about that? My fatheri nsults people who are my friends like he said fuck him about Robert my father never takes me and Dale to places or on a vacation he never talked to us about getting a job or going to college he never taught us how to drive or take the bus even about getting a phone charger and my father says they are on their own. My father said forget I don't want these fucks to hear the end of this. My father he refers to me and Dale as those fucks I know that makes me feel bad and uncared for and those words that my father use against me and Dale are really hurtful. I have been hurting from things my father says. Thats the only reason I keep being upset is because it's so hurtful. He never taught us how to drive a car or get a disabled bus if you are too disabled to drive. If something like our phone broke he said you are on your own. So I can't expect his help with anything. So I'm with no assistance from my father, he couldn't care less about me and Dale. My dad just showed one out * of his children how to drive he just helped one out * of his children to attend a college he has his companion named First of all I think it would be a good thing if my dad got in trouble for stuff he actually did rather than just getting away with stuff second of all how is he taking care of us if I'm asking and begging the church to buy me a pair of sneakers? I wanted to share with you a concern regarding the lack of support and involvement from my parents in our home. I have observed that some parents, including Dale's and my own, do not seem to prioritize their children's well-being or provide them with the necessary support. So my father said something like the twins is on their own and when I asked my mother about it she said that he said that the twins are old enough to be on their own but my father never taught J frequently fix David and my dad's vehicle in some cases in any event, free of charge nobody has proposed to do any such thing for myself and Dale my dad has left me and Dale in obscurity with all that my folks even have us make our own supper consistently so they don't make us supper. The sheer terror of not being helped or taken care of! It consumes me, devours me, and leaves me crippled by fear. I am haunted by the thought that no one will come to my aid when I am in desperate need. They don't make sure that we are dressed properly either like when me and Dale went to the restored Church of God we didn't know how to put on our suits right and it looked ridiculous and I guess the pastor help just fix it. When I was younger my father once slapped me in the face in my room and told me not to hit back. He also used to smack me on the back of my head.
