How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by MrHandsome2013(op): 3:07am On Jul 09, 2025
It is very simple to spot parents that never love their kids from day 1.
Like me I was never loved from day 1 by d so call parents .

1) no child fond memories

2) no single group pic with them as a kid and as an adult

3) They never care about you or how you make your money as long as you send them money

4) I was hospitalized for one good month , my dad one day never call or ask about my well bring

5) the worst thing that can ever happen to you as child is having both parents coming from a polygamous family , no single love.

6) imagine your mum from a polygamous family and your dad from a polygamous family coming together to get ma, worst nightmare parents combination .

So sorry about this , same fate befell on me.
Just move or if you cant move then take revege on them for causing you so harm.
No body force them to bring an innocent child like you to suffer this.
They could have become rev father or sis

My childhood experiences were tough and wicked with my parents. Despite my calmness and meekness my "dad" did says I'm a mistake. cry He did says he doubts his paternity over me cry ... I'm still inside the trauma currently in my 30s cry ... I fled from home after I came home from school (polytechnic program) and just to heard him vowed for himself that when I'm done with my polytechnic program he's gonna show me shéégé. cry ..... I looked up and down and I asked myself if I have been a wayward or disobedient child to this man in a life before this.... cry I didn't see love. I envy children who talk about their parents with a good and loving energy cry cry

Polygamy has nothing to do with it. Who is bad is bad. Simple undecided

If you can't discuss all this you have written above with ur parents that's were the real trauma stems from, children that can't open up about issues they are facing to their parents usually have a very traumatic life cuz abusers realize that and use it to their advantage cuz they know he or she won't tell no one

That's the primary trauma so all parents should make their children comfortable with them, to discuss any issues don't form perfection infront of ur children when they see u have limitations they will be open to u and would want to make you proud.

Trauma eeeehhhh. Op trauma.
Parenting in Africa shouldn't be judged cos many wanted to do more but lacked fund.

If the dad sponsored his polytechnic program, so? I don't want to misquote you, you can complete the statement so people can tell you more about parenting.

I have never felt the presence of my father in my life up to now. Bro abandoned me and my mother for 8yrs when I was a kid, I still out of compassion send him money sometimes but the one that broke me most was that I was in prison for over a month and bro didn't even call or check up on me even after I came out on bail he never reached out to me and I am his only son angry we've not spoken for almost a year now
Re: How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by JoeRizzla(m): 8:31pm On Jul 11, 2025
I guess you felt like they even doubted you so much that it made you paranoid.

Go listen to Juice Wrld "Doubted me" you can heal from there.

We can conclude from your story now that you are going to end up worst than them since you will inherit their genes, so it's now left to you to not make your children feel like this to you in the future.

What to do with such information? Better don't fail yourself and your God. Nobody owes you anything in this life, the earlier you know that, the better for the whole world.
People just choose to keep their lives bitter and blame others and circumstances for how their life is instead of taking life and making the best of it. There are several people with happy childhood memories and loving parents that turned out bad, their parents are still lamenting about what went wrong.

Not all parents are to be blamed. They were raised that way and just believe that is how to raise a child . They didnt have internet or great sources of information to help with child upbringing. WhenYou have your own kids , you will do somethings as a parent and suddenly realize you are acting exactly like your parents . You have to consciously break the cycle .

Sorry . Try to sit with them and discuss those things with them . Even if they are unrepentant , they will know what you think of their past actions
Re: How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by Nice2023(m):
My dad was very hard but he provided us everything.

I mean every thing as far as his income could carry.

He used to pay our school fees very early,provided food for us and made sure we eat on or before 8 am everyday till we became teenagers.

My dad chai may God continue to bless him for me. He has Retired now but I treasure his sense of family care and his ability to care of us.

He never failed us.

Obviously but we have to read from other users of this platform from such a family set up their experiences aswell.
Re: How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by haybhi1(m):
There's a fallacy here. My point is parenting is different within different parents. Most of these things you deride your parents for are not a yardstick to label bad or unloving parents. I have the most worthy parents on earth. Yet, my dad was raised through the polygamous way. My mom too.

Don't be carried away by the lovey-dovey, clingy kinda parenting that's popular around. While it's reassuring and soothing, not every parents are tailored to do that. In fact, it wasn't a commonly expressed custom in those days in Nigeria, until now. Too much dotting isn't an automatic measure of love.

Despite not having much, my parents both gave me and my brother the best of things any child can get from their parents, character. While not every parent call their children or something, they show love in their own unique ways. I'm not sure we have one family picture or something like that, but my parents are extremely lovable.

My parents won't do the hugging or petting or something like that, my dad very hardly calls (unless things happen) but they'll pour their soul into raising us. I'm glad my parents raised me the cold way because I had a huge tendency to be a lout while growing up, and dotting on me might have really spiraled my demeanour. Thank God for my parents.

May God please, in His finite mercies, grant them a long life, happy and hale life, and bless us their children so that we give them a wonderful life to enjoy. Ameen


You'd better cherish your parents now while they're still alive. Some of them weren't even loved with amount of love they give, although covertly. You'll understand when you become a parent.
Re: How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by Musty112: 8:41pm On Jul 11, 2025
Another parent bashing thread. If you are fortunate enough to have good parents, be grateful to God. If otherwise, accept it as your test in life. Never say as much as "uff" to them.

Quran: Al-Isra' 17:23-24

And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff,"[1] and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

Hmmmn this goes a long way to tell us that some people are wicked based on some of the things they had encounter among their family, though some may outgrow it while some will continue the circle there by raising emotional damaged Individual into the society.
Re: How To Know That Your Parents Failed Or Never Loved You From Day 1 by oglalasioux(m): 8:43pm On Jul 11, 2025
People who have loving parents don’t know what God and the universe did for them.

‘I carried you for nine months’ is a common blackmail some mothers made in hell use freely on their hapless children.
