..Responsibility

by Former Party Girl

i was watching something on the news earlier that got me going. it was about kids who end up f-d up because they didn't have the right up bringing. kids who become horrible people, drug addicts, wife/children beaters, etc, because their parents did it, or because they weren't taught better.

i agree to some extent that if a child is not shown love/respect/trust, they may not know how to give love/respect/trust.

but at what point does that become a crutch? an excuse for bad behavior? a cop out?

my husband was raised by a crazy mom, had a jack-ass dead beat druggie/boozer for a dad. suffered verbal abuse by both and watched his dad knock his mom around. yet my husband is the most well adjusted, sensitive man i have ever met. maybe more sensitive than i.

my dad was raised in a home where people were yelling and screaming all the time. there was no love shown. there was verbal and physical abuse, yet he is the most gentle man.

i am just so over people and their excuses. Lindsay Lohan is an addict because her family had issues. celebirty made Britney Spears a bad mom. suddenly every time someone f's up they blame someone else and then go to rehab.

i think they should go to rehab for going to rehab.
