@Orchid:...yes...and I am lucky both my parents are still living. But....it is an awesome responsibility to carry ALL their hopes and expectations....
@ C1: YOU are not "what they think of you". You are a sweet, caring friend, who has gone through much for the ones he loves. I sooo respect you, sweety!!
been an only child since day one. as my life falls apart inside my soul where no one sees and around me as the spectacle of the week, the pressure is unfathomable. i am no longer the apple of their eye of a reason to be proud. i only live to show gratitude for what they've given me.

I know you now feel an additional. Burden and responsibility towards your parents; rest assured, I will help you, and them out any way I can!
