Cheers guys, thanks alot

I realise that I'm not the only person that has been to the bottom, that would be very narcissistic to think so...

dude, i dont really know your situation but what your parents did seems a little fucked up, but glad to know that your stable
I was pretty frustrated with them too for a while, but then realised where they came from. I have since then explained this to them but they still are not intrested, which in my eyes; is their issue and not mine. I have moved on from it, a situation they have not even been in (homeless and jobless with no parental support) The result? I am a stronger person and am not a crack or smack head I am very proud to say!

I would love to make ammends eventually though... I do love my family more than anything...
