The thought came to me because my parents have already failed on me. I hear about it all the time, someones dad doesn't pay child support or never see's them. Sometimes it's the mother, maybe she's addict or maybe a parent passed away. To be honest it's brought a concern to me, all these kids don't have a father or mother to be there for them. My father was never there for me, all I had was my mother, For the longest time I didn't know anything about my father. My mother was an alcholic and she abused her medications a lot. This made things pretty bad and diffcult. She was horrible but she was all I had. She has since moved far away and I never see her now. I met my father at 17 years old and for a while things were great and I was the happiest I had ever been. Things went down hill when I was seeing him less and less, I turned to anger very easily. I was so angry and it was all because I couldn't see my father. All I wanted was to see him, be around him, even just hear him talk. I was turned down by excuses about his dogs that are biting people. That does not stop us from going out somewhere to talk, I eventually had to bring into mind if he doesn't care there's nothing I can do. I'm 18 years old now, going through college and still, he affects me, I still get angry, it still cuts me down inside about him and my mother. Both of them is what created me and all I see is garbage from both of them. It makes me angry just knowing I'm part of them. I see that a lot of other's are having the same problems, their parents just aren't doing what they should be doing. I'm worried this could be causing a lot of problems with people, ever notice a lot of those ice cold killers had horrible family lives? Some say that gives them no excuse I say I can see what led them to do it, but it was still bad. I know this probably seems like some sad sob story but I know everyone has family issues. I was just wondering if these things were really affecting the people.
