[Serious]For adult redditers who don't like the way their lives have turned out, to what extent do you blame your parents?

A lot. my mom and dad divorced when i was 3. I moved with my grandparents then. They loved me but i had absolutely no supervision or guidance growing up. I moved 9 times before turning 15. I stopped being out going and making friends, because what was the point if i was going to move again. I became a huge introvert. my parents didn't teach me manners , so even till this day i still learn new things. at 14 years old i would go out and hang out till midnight on a school night, and they wouldn't say anything about it,not even a "did you do your hw" question. I did horrible in school still had freedom. I didn't have to state where i was going i just went. Later around 18 years old i bought a car that broke down,i asked for advice , but didn't get much in return. I took out 3 credit cards , maxed them out. still rebuilding my credit till this day.I Hung out with alot of older people because i always wanted a father figure to show me how to play sports. Those older peoples lead me down the wrong path.At 20 i was told go to work not college, and thats what i did. Im 26 im in college super late , and now and seeing how my friends families operate with such simple things like eating dinner at the same time, the parents telling them "dont buy that shit, save your money" and going on family trips is a beautiful thing. I cant explain how much i envy it. Yes those decisions were my fault , but i wish i had guidance and had more family orientated things. I honestly think i'm weird now cause i want to be someone completely different then i was years ago.
