>be me
>have helicopter parents; a BPD cunt who is never happy about anything and refused to let me go outside or do anything literally out of fear I’d get butt raped and a worthless father who enabled her and would work 12 hour shifts just to get away from her and would at best give worthless advice about how I need to get away from my mother and rebel against her keep in mind I was 8 at the time
>only thing I could do I stare at a wall or when I was older play on my gameboy which is pretty much all I could do and occasionally my parents would be embarrassed all I do is play on the gameboy and take it away from me and I’d go back to staring at walls until they decided to give it back
>one day my dad kicked me out of the house and told me to run around like other kids and I did for about 3 hours and then came back and their were police and my mom ran at me crying and sobbing about how I, “ran away” and when I told her dad told me to go outside and play he denied it and I had my gameboy taken away all Summer and still not allowed to play outside or do anything
>eventually get a laptop and do nothing but play on that all day because again nothing else to fucking do
>eventually turn 18 dad takes me to get my permit and my mom immediately takes it off me because I, “am not ready to drive”
>dad demands I get a job and tells me to just bike two miles everyday for a min wage job then immediately gives up when mom pushes back again
>turn 25 and see my classmates getting married and divorced and realized how fucked I was my entire life and how much I missed out on and get the worst soul crushing feeling ever that will never go away
>parents continue to fight over nothing same stupid arguments they were having since I was a child they didn’t change one bit throughout the years
>mom asked almost gloating when I’m going to start dating and I tell her I’m not and I’d rather be alone then end up like dad which ended with her screaming at me

>turn 30 dad left the house to live at a house his father left him and said I, “needed to stay behind to watch after my mother”
>mom asks me seriously this time when I’m going to have children and I tell her I’m not and she’ll never have grandkids and if by some chance I do she and dad will never see them
>mom pulls a 180 on her parenting and gets a new car and gives me her old one and gets dad to teach me how to drive and dad helps me get a job making 12 dollars an hour and she tells me to talk to my coworkers if you haven’t figured it out she wants a grandchild to fuck up and torment and probably use against me and my pussy whipped father
>work at busy beaver for a year see young coworkers talking about parties going to the beach and having fun thing I never got to do and never will I won’t even be able to afford my own place and get away from my evil parents and I call it quits and just accept the internet is all I’m ever going to get out of life
>mom and dad work together and berate me for not working and that I have to even if I’m paid nothing that just doing work is worthwhile in itself and just other insane shit
>dad promised me his family house when he dies if I just work look it up and the transfer tax and property tax would break me and when I point it out he just yells at me how I’m ungrateful and that he is offering me a house to just work and I tell him to fuck off and he’s offering me nothing
>mom goes and adopts 6 cats and they all shit everywhere and she never cleans it up because she always smoking weed, alcohol, and 10 dollar cigarettes and then berates me for being a loser and then sends outrageously long multiple texts to my dad over things that happened decades ago
Why the fuck did these two retards bring me into the world? My life is hell. They wouldn’t even let me have a childhood. They did literally everything in their power to make sure I lived a miserable hopeless life. Why bother?

Yeah many of us have been dealt a shit hand.
Best advice I can give is to get out of that situation ASAP. Is there a relative or friend you can live with temporarily while you get a job or apply for gibs?
Worst thing that can happen is you end up homeless, which honestly wasn't that bad of an experience for me and taught me a lot. Being alone with your thoughts dead broke on the street is way better than feeling trapped by nagging retarded helicopter parents. But if you're in a dangerous area, definitely move to a safer one ASAP.

I have very good loving parents that teached me a lot, always supported me, never pushed me into things, never locked me up at home, never forced me to do things I dont want (like wagecucking or school) and they are also rich af.
I still ended up a kissless friendless virgin NEET.

Yeah your parents fucked you up that sucks. But guess what? Once you turn 18 it's up to you to determine what direction your life moves in. It's your parents fault for not delivering you to a certain point. It's your fault for no taking any action in the more than a decade you've been an adult

I literally don’t have a car or license if you don’t have a car and license then you can’t go anywhere in American unless you’re in a city. You can’t just get a job and make your way anymore. Not the 1960s anymore boomer get with the times.

Not reading that wall of text. But it's usually the same exact story.
Only real solution is to cut all contact and move on with your life without them being part of it. Stop chasing the bait of inheritance from them, you will probably end up getting nothing or much less than they had been promising/suggesting even if you do just cuck out and do whatever they want.
Yes, they probably did some retarded and fucked up shit to you in the past, but you need to stop clinging to that to excuse your present and future woes.
You are an adult. You are 100% responsible for whatever you do now, and the consequences that result from those actions.
Wallowing in self-pity is extremely counterproductive and accomplishes nothing good.

Don't feel sorry they put your through that.
Be proud that you endured it and that it didn't kill you.
The fact you recognise what went wrong and where everything went wrong proves you're a healthier human than they ever will be, and while it might sadden you if you feel that, their shitty choices aren't your problem, unless you choose to make them your problem.

Yeah they fucked you up.
My parents fucked me up too. "You're 18, you can get a driving license now, we trust you, you can do it".
5 lessons later (and they knew nothing of how the lessons went), I come home and my drunk driving dad popped his 6th bottle and told me "people like you can't drive, can't do it, it's your condition, they're born to fail, so when you fail and give up it's ok, we'll take care for you".
I don't have s condition. He knows that, as does my narcissistic helicopter mom.
In fact they talked about lying to the whole family and school about it, so they could brag and boast to colleagues about how they were helping me.
Everything they did to "help" has been proactive sabotage.

There's learning in it though.
I didn't start healing until I went no-contact with them in January 2024, having just turned 30.

>"dad wants me to work, says just doing work is worthwhile in itself"
It's not working for him, is it.
Never did.
In the same way that games or movies are escapes for people, your dad ran away from his problems by just working so he didn't have to think about it.
My dad did the same. He didn't process his stepdad beating him up, he just worked as soon as he could, because that would get him away from his abusive mother and that whole situation.
I'll never forget the look of apocalyptic horror in his face when he tried to beat me up when I was 10 and I without even thinking hit him in the gut as hard as I could, closed fist and twist of the arm and everything.
He wished he did that himself to that first stepdad, but he never did.

Sorry man.
You can heal too.

We have very similar stories, except they took me to get checked over and over and every time the doctor said I had nothing they just swapped to another. After the diagnostic of several psychologists they still refuse to believe that I don't have autism or anything, and its worse because I have siblings, who they treat normally, while I keep getting the same stares you would give to a child. I'm trying to get a job so I can fuck off and live by myself, but they refuse to let me do ANYTHING alone at all and its virtually impossible to do it unless I flee home. Worse of it all is they love to blab about it to everyone so the entire neighbourhood think I have some sort of mental illness and every social interaction is hell.

Its really hard to start learning social skills as an adult, i had a similar upbringing and i also ended up a socially handicapped loser.
I recomend you do whatever you can to talk as much as possible with strangers, try volunteering maybe, its usually good understanding people who you can get along with.
I dont recommend volunteering for animal shelters and peta stuff thou, the animal loving community is really toxic and they all hate other people, they just like animals.
Can also try going to bars and such, go before the peak hours start to find an empty table and wait a bit and it will get filled with people you can talk to, also have a few beers, it will make talking to others much easier.
Bars/pubs are honestly your best bet, its basically like /pol/ but in real life but with some women here and there.

Shit parents, but you also can blame yourself for not just fucking leaving with a backpack of clothes at 18. You could have joined the military or gotten a factory/warehouse job.

Someone else posted this months ago:
>I’ve known a few NEETs in my time. The kind of people who never managed to get their lives off the ground, stuck in a cycle of self-loathing and stagnation. Some of them were lazy, sure, but it was never just about that. There was always something deeper at play, and after seeing the pattern repeat enough times, the common denominator became clear: their parents.

>Not just bad parents in the usual sense—these weren’t violent abusers or neglectful junkies. No, these were the absent yet omnipresent types. The ones who managed to be both overbearing and useless, hovering over their children’s lives just enough to stifle any real independence while never actually guiding them toward anything productive. They raised their kids to be weak, dependent, and afraid of the world while doing nothing to prepare them for it.

>These parents kept them on a tight leash, controlling them just enough to ensure they couldn’t grow on their own. They made their kids fear failure while never encouraging success. They taught helplessness, ridiculed ambition, and instilled a baseline assumption that the world was too hard, too cruel, and not worth engaging with. Then they turned around and sneered at their kids for turning out exactly as they were molded—passive, broken, directionless.

>It’s a perfect cycle of failure. Raise your child to be a loser, then blame them for losing. Teach them to avoid risk, then mock them for never taking any. Smother them just enough to kill their spirit, but not enough to make them resent you enough to break free. The perfect conditions for breeding a NEET.

when I was a kid me and my friends would just ride our bikes around the entire city and explore the woods. just had to come home before dark. there was crime and weirdos back then too, but we turned out alright.
the kids a little younger than me I started seeing their parents don't let them outside, choose what they can watch and listen to, only allow them to eat and drink certain things. constantly tell them they will be raped and murdered if they leave their yard.

then the go "how come my kid never leaves the house and just sits on their phone all the time and cant get a girlfried? what's going on with this world?"

You're fucking retarded. That's like a drunk driving parent getting into a car accident and putting the kid in a wheelchair then berating him for not being able to walk once he turns 18. Parents really fuck shit and it could take decades to undo if you can at undo it all. It's doesn't help that both of his are still alive and nagging the shit out of him.

You know the deal. Post them matzo milkers if you want me to act like i care.

Actually i just skimmed it and
>booo fucking hooo my dad and mom werent the best parents
They are flawed people. You know how you are all fucked up and shitty? They are too in theor own way. Difference is they tried and had limited success with you. "Ohhh i wish i was never born... boo hoo" shut the fuck up. Go buy a gun and shoot yourself then, pussy. Id recommend not doing that because life is kinda fucking cool sometimes. Blaming everyone else doesnt do fuck all besides make you more depressed and waste time. You already pissed away your 20s, dont fuck up your 30s.

God i hate women so goddamn much.
