    Don’t forget the chronic depression, crippling trust issues, and being perpetually single due to said trust issues…

    I’m married to someone who had to be the adult and take care of her family (siblings and mother) starting age 11.

    My wife is unstoppable. But she expects adults to be adults, because she had to figure out how to be one by herself. And that’s where the resentment comes in.

    Don’t need to read the article. Got shit from my father for using rivets when I should’ve used screws on my car. “Didn’t anyone ever teach you anything?” he said. No shit cunt, YOU didn’t.

    Can confirm.

    Protip to not become a resentful adult: Vent and vent often. Keeping that shit bottled up is the starting breeding ground for most of today’s personality disorders.

    Quiet resentment eventually begets external aggression.
