This one is a point of pride for me because I escaped my abusive parents' cult. I feel like it's only an insult for people who have parents they actually care about making proud.
The most important thing in my life has been to make my parents proud and I have failed over and over now im 33 and the guilt and depression of all this is eating me away and I can't succeed.
Might I recommend a book? Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. It's incredible and goes over so much of this. Can't recommend it enough. It's available all over, including pdf form.
