When did your parents finally give up on you?

Imo there's at least two types of 'parents giving up'
The first is when they just start neglecting you and not guiding you at all.
The second is when they outright begin enabling your bad/harmful behavior.

>>82386258 (OP) I don't blame my father for giving up on me. I had enormous potential and fucking wasted it.

He paid a lot of money to send me to a top private school. I was academically gifted. I was always top of my class.

When I was in college, my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I got so depressed that I dropped out of college and took some shitty customer service job to pay my bills.

I'm now too lazy and demoralized to do anything else. I just don't care anymore. My father is very disappointed and constantly reminds me how much potential I had, and that I could have done more with my life. He is right, but I've just given up.
