    My adoptive parents bought me so my adoptive mother would have control over my wedding/baby shower and what children I have and she wouldn’t risk being alone on holidays when her biological children (all sons) get married.

    They’ve been so much worse to me after I told them I’m not having kids because now they wasted money on buying and raising me sadness-abysmal

      “Transactional” thinking, such as seeing people they’re supposed to nurture and raise and protect out of love and see it as some kind of “investment” with expected returns, is poison, the death of love and meaningful emotional connections.

      I wish there was a way to see it a long ways off to avoid those empty-inside fucks, forever.
