perplexing.

If somebody said to me, "I am a fuck up because of my parents."

In almost every circumstance I would reply with, "You are old enough now to make your own choices, who you are is of your OWN doing."

So naturally when somebody says to me, "Your parents did something right, because you turned out pretty good."

I would be offended, because personally I feel the same response would be merited...

"I am old enough now to make my own choices, who I am is of MY OWN doing."

damn right I turned out pretty good, because I have worked my but off to turn my life around.

I did this.

shouldn't I be the one responsible for everything I've done right if I am indeed responsible for all I have done wrong?

Fuckers.
