I love my parents, but they have instilled so much fear in me. I love my parents, but I will never be able to forgive them for turning me into their verbal punching bag. I love my parents, but it doesn't excuse the way they had always equated my worth to the amount of marks I had scored. I love my parents, but they had never made me feel worthy of their love. I love my parents, but they had never made it seem as if they are proud of me. I love my parents, but I despised how they had always compared me to others. I love my parents, but was it necessary to make your child earn the love you are supposed to give unconditionally? I love my parents, but they made me want to run away and never come back. I love my parents as much as I am capable of loving, but sometimes I cannot help but wonder if they love me too.
