I never got any support from my parents during high school either concerning good grades, which were all nearly all A's. I made a only a few B's & got shit for it as if I had failed.
I relate, Alex's Trip.
My stepdad, who barely ever said two words to me all my life, ripped his pants-leg climbing a chain link fence at the football stadium where my high school commencement took place & where I gave the valediction. He hugged me & told me he was proud of me. That was the only time he ever expressed to any form of sentiment.
He was always insecure because my stepfather knew I was much more intelligent than himself & that I wasn't his blood. Everything I did to achieve only reminded him of this painful fact, & since we had no communication really, we never bonded in any way, shape or form.
My parents have never helped me financially. As for college, they never lifted a finger to help me there either & by then I wasn't even speaking with them, & I haven't in over ten years.
