STOP BLAMING YOUR PARENTS...

It's not up to your parents to make your life a happy one. You're a grown adult now, they've done their job in raising you and it's time to let all that you feel let down on, by...go.
You're parents did the best with what they had, with what they knew at the time. They were taught and given beliefs by their parents...it just keeps on going.
All that you do as a parent yourself, you are parenting in the best way YOU know how, with what you have. And I hope you're kids grow up to appreciate all that you did for them, but there is a chance they too may feel let down about certain things. The best thing you can do as a parent is to do the best with what you have in each given moment.
So forgive your parents, thank your parents, find all the goodness in what was given, and know all that happened, was meant to happen.
The same goes with your partner or anyone else you may be possibly relying on to make your life better. It's not up to anyone else, but you. Expecting someone else to fulfil you, complete you, is putting a lot of pressure on that person, And the more you rely on others to make you happy, the likely hood of you being let down in the long run.
Find it within you to make yourself happy. Get connected with yourself, And be able to enjoy your parents, your partner, your friends. Allow them to be the bonus to your own internal happiness.
PS My granddaughter Naiya is a happy little girl, her mummy does an amazing job in raising her babies and it shows. I learn a lot myself from my own daughter being a mum - kids are our greatest teacher.
