I was wondering what if I my parents didn't have me, would they suffer less without me?

I've been thinking about it for days since they're really have been scolding and cursing me a lot lately, whether if I should've just unalived myself sooner so they wouldn't suffer anymore. I feel guilty of being a part of their problems, I need somebody's thought.

I don't have enough information but best I can say is to not feel guilty, adults shouldn't take their personal life problems out on their kid. I know it's hard not to feel guilty because it makes you feel guilty but you also have to realize that there's something called displaced anger. It's not fair but it does happen and is more of a reflection on the other person than you. But it is made to feel like it's your fault.

I honestly don't know your situation but I know is that displaced anger IS a thing and they shouldn't be taking it out on you if that's what is happening.

My best advice is that sometimes you can't control other people regardless, not even family. There are unfortunately toxic family members. The best thing you can do for yourself is keep moving forward at any cost because you got no choice otherwise. Just do you. Simple advice but you'll waste time worrying about others.

Success is the best revenge, don't let someone else's dysfunction go to you.

It's a serious struggle but unaliving yourself wouldn't be worth it, especially if it goes wrong and you live through it. You just got to find your OWN reasons to live and nobody else's, even if it's purely for spite.
You made me cry, thank you so much. @SatanBurger

@Christine65 Thanks for the best comment, I really hope things get better for you but even if your family never comes around, you have to remember that sometimes, it's not you but a reflection of the person and their inner things they got going on.

You got to just keep moving regardless of what anyone says.

I doubt they would have been happier. Scolding and correcting you is a parent's responsibility. Being your friend is not. But it needs to be done in a loving manner. Not with contempt or hatred. A child is usually not a real part of serious problems. Hang in there and try your best. That's all that can ever be expected of you.

@SW-User Exactly. I don't like it when parents have the contempt and hatred part towards their kids.

Ever have a child of your own? If not let me explain. I didn't have any children for the sake of the child. I had a child because I wanted a child. Me losing a child that I wanted was extremely heart breaking. Why? Because no matter what I still want that child and there was nothing that child could ever do that would make me regret ever having had him.

Your parents would suffer immensely without you. What are the yelling about? 🫤
