no, i dont feel a need to please you anymore - you've ruined my childhood, i had to grow up early and raise myself - and you expect me to rely on you in the future or cater to you? no one else will ever tell you how shitty of parents you are, because on the surface - no one knows. all they know is that grinning, smiling family that raised a "polite" and "quiet" child who surely is mentally well and all there. you didn't support me on anything, took all my money when i worked and lived with you, and now expect me to not to cut contact once i'm away? well tough shit - congrats. you raised someone who fundamentally hates you to the core - but is just REALLY good at acting like they don't, putting up with your bullshit until im gone. and no, i dont want you to attend anything of mine in the future - i will make it a goal of mine to change my last name, change my number, and act as if you dont exist
