You will be a son or daughter no matter how old you are. What do you expect from parents? Who is responsible for your success in life?
Your parents married and brought you up without special qualifications, training, or work experience. Their married life was never as peaceful or comfortable as you would expect. You can find many faults, flaws, and weaknesses in them. How many babies lost lives due to abortions, miscarriages, and birth problems? Many babies die prematurely after birth. The most important thing is that your parents gave birth to you and brought you up despite such great difficulties in their lives. Accept it or not, you owe your entire life to having a chance to live in this world.
Many parents live for their children at the cost of their own lives without realizing they are doing wrong. At least some of them work more than they can to provide facilities for their children, sacrifice the comforts of life, or even risk their lives. At least some may have lost their lives in this patch. Children who compare themselves with others and complain about their lack of opportunities and comforts must realize they are making big mistakes.
What should you do? Know your responsibilities and learn to behave normally. Try to grow mentally and physically by using every opportunity you get. Live more humane than higher education. Respect everyone and help the distressed, weak, needy, and elderly. A peaceful and happy life is more important than earning more money. Values of life are much more desirable than positions or income. Respect your parents and hold them together even though they may be weak and imperfect. Realize that your own life is more valuable than everything else. No matter how critical your challenges are, live a happy and satisfied life. Do not hesitate to seek help from adults or professionals when needed. It is not up to you or your parents that you should be born to these parents and live in a comfortable life situation. The goal of life is not always to win but to survive.
You are responsible for success in life, not your parents or others.
