My whole life, they've been whining about how they could've had so much more if they didn't have to pay for me, how anything bad my little sister does she picked up from me, how they've given up sooooo much for me and I'm completely ungrateful because I don't thank them profusely for things like putting me through college, etc. My sister, on the other hand, gets none of this, although they constantly tell her things like how I'm a hypochondriac, how I almost killed her by giving her meningitis (although I never actually had meningitis, but when I told my mom this, she said I purposely gave her the cold that weakened her immune system even though I was 4 at the time), and so on. Add this to all the self esteem issues they gave me by always telling me how much prettier I'd be if I wasn't fat or how I'm way too smart for a guy to ever want anything to do with me, and people wonder why I have issues. Anyhow, has anyone else experienced this type of thing? Do you think there's any truth to what I saw on Malcolm?

Your parents actually SAY that to you? I'm in shock. I understand the part about being called ungrateful, etc., because I hae to listen to that all the time, too. I get good grades, but I'm the supposedly the "dumbest smart person" in the world and all I'm good for is sitting around looking pretty. I never do anything right. Even if I do something half right, there's always something wrong with it. Oh, yeah, and I'm lazy. But I've never been told straight out that my parents would have been so much better off if I weren't around. I'm so sorry. If you ever need to vent, just PM me!
