Ruin your life, how? We need to stop living this life of entitlement. Okay, since you’ve moved on, have you been able to put your ruined life back on track? We are all aware that the majority of Nigerian parents are authoritarian, and their behavior or ways can sometimes annoy the kids. They don't give a damn about how the kids feel because they want things done their way. However, if you don't agree with your parents' behavior or ways of doing things, once you've reached adulthood, keep your distance and live your own life while remaining respectful to them. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I have a healthy relationship with my mum, I love her so much, even though she doesn't have much, but she sacrifices alot for me. She single handedly sees my through my university hence I owe her so much. Though I am not going to lie , as good as my mum is to me, she can be so annoying at times with her toxic words. For my dad, he doesn't care and I in the other hand don't care about him. Man is evil in all standard. 2 Likes |

Honour your father and your mother... So that your days may be long. This is an instruction without condition. So irrespective of who they are, what they did or what they're doing... The instruction is CLEAR. You will not die young. |

Draslo: You have to redefine the image the scar gave you. It makes you macho-looking now, Relationship between Parents especially Fathers and Sons is so significant and spiritual that the devil fights it with every thing he has. Most fathers who should know this and be sensitive about it are unfortunately ignorant of it. My elder brother and dad are arch-enemies till date because of a similar experience like yours and worse still, changing the course of his academic life out of fear and disconnecting him spirit and body. Man is here in Nigeria but his spirit is abroad. Even I put in extra effort to manage my relationship with him. It is quite unfortunate to have insensitive and worse still self-righteous parents. But the good news is that God is helping to reveal most of these marital and parental mysteries to the Body of Christ and those who are perceptive. This is a good time to apply yourself to succeed where your parents may have faltered. It is a spiritual warfare that you have to commit to God's hands. Be intentional to live a life worthy of God's mercy. Your parents just like you and I, never really had a manual to life or mentors. This is why you should forgive your dad. God bless and heal your home. |

having a father that believe he shouldn't be hustling again at 60+ and expecting you to be providing all his needs even when he's aware that the Sons are facing one challenges to the other, he didn't invest on properties and not excellently on them or a mother that give attention to the first child and last born that don't send her anyway at the end I felt pained when I see friends that are poorer and uneducated than my parents but still get the required support from their own parents than me Note: everything is not money, we need someone to cry to sometimes for moral support and encouragement, orphan feel we are better because we have parents but they forget many hide their pains under their smiles for having one 8 Likes |

When I see people relate well with their dad,I feel its absurd and strange because I never experienced that.When I sold my car,I started using my mum's car,she gladly gave me anytime I wanted it,do you know my dad told my mum to stop giving me her car,that I will turn it to scrap.Imagine what a dad is saying about his son 1 Like |

Myer:I'm half blind in one eye. I have forgiven him but we drifted apart. It's not just me, same as with my siblings. You know when you just get to that point where you can't share personal stuff with your parent anymore. You're just their child and they're your parent and responsibilities on either side of that are not lagging but there's no friendship per se. Anger issues, trust issues, control issues and like you rightly mentioned, self righteous issues... these are some of his traits. In fact, there's no time my siblings and I are talking about him and one of these traits isn't the reason for the conversation. Even though a parent(s) can make loving them difficult, we just do anyway. 3 Likes 1 Share |

My father is a very busy man, but he always has time for me. I've also observed how my brothers in law have time for their children too... And their children are very comfortable and open around them... One time I found my brother in law helping my niece on how to put a wig on and sometimes he'll take her out... Same thing applies with my other brother in law to a point that if his daughter doesn't get to see him for more than a week, she gets sick. Judging by most of the comments here, it seems like most of your fathers are there, but absent in your lives. They're only there because they're married to your mothers. tiswell: 1 Like |

Fountainofyouth:why always the dad? mothers and women are always good. Yet,it's women that gives birth to these kids that continues the cycle of hate towards men. hate-filled orientation on the kids is usually a woman's yardstick for measuring a man's perceived fvck up,and the innocent kids would grow with it thinking it's a way of life. 1 Like |
