To: I have mentally handicapped parents. Whenever I’d ask them to help me with my homework
Me: The reason you went to school was for you to learn the skills which you were taught, by giving examples of how you would do the task set for you, by the way you completed your homework and if you had learned the concepts from each lesson, which advanced your education.
Your parents had nothing to do with your education, because they were not at your school, learning those concepts, you were there for that reason.
If you did not learn the concepts taught you, to complete your homework or education, that was down to you, not your parents and if you did not put enough in, to get anything out, that was your hard luck and had nothing to do with your parents – their only contribution to you, was the s** they had, to create you, after that it was up to you to succeed or fail in life, just the same as it is, or was, for all of the rest of us.
Your parents succeeded to the degree which was fulfilling for them, it was up to you to advance yourself further and take over and move forwards, by your own merit, and not theirs.
