The Things in Life you felt you have been Deprived of...

I been deprived the unconditional love of my father. My parents divorced when i was young and mom got custody and moved to another state. I visited my father, but he always made me feel like an object to be showed off rather than a loved daughter. My father ha said a lot of horrible things about me and my family...and just once i wish he would accept me for me not what he thinks i should be.

Hi inky! I have been deprived of everything! How is that for an answer! I had a lousy childhood to start! I then had to help my family by going to work instead of finishing my college education! I then totally messed up my life from that point on! But, who do I blame for that? It should be me! But, I don't want to put the blame on anyone even though it should be put on my worthless father! I was deprived of the love of a parent and the childhood that I deserved and then the rest followed! But, you know what I blame myself for not being able to handle what was handed to me! So I deprived myself of making a worthwhile life!

The last of my childhood was taken by circumstances. My innocense was wiped away by the reactions to circumstance and ill fortune almost as quickly. I was deprived of decent living conditions, during that time, as well. But I don't feel deprived of life, or that these things are so negative that I should be bitter for it. I'm thankful, for all I've learned from the bad things I've experienced in life. It's all brought me to where I am now.

I think I can safely say that I was deprived of my father. He never realized that everytime he got a new woman in his life, he left my brother and me out of a lot of things. I needed him so much growing up because my mother was gone when I was little and I had no one else. The baby sitters weren't enough to be able to deal with us when we were upset! I think because of that issue my brother and I didn't experience alot of things that other kids did. They had boyscouts and dance team and sports and Dad was too busy working or dating sometimes to pay attention to us. I realize that those things cost money--as I have kids of my own, but even a pool membership in the summer would have let us be kids instead of hermits. Kinda hurts now that I think of that. I want my kids to have the better in life that what my brother and I did.

I've been deprived of a normally functioning body. I have more pain in one day many times than others do in a year. I dream in pain. Sometimes it feels like my own body is rejecting me. I don't remember a time when I didn't have pain or when my body functioned without pain in the way that most people do. I've gotten used to it. I live with it. And most of the time I just ignore as much as I can and deal with the rest. But it sure feels like I was deprived of a different experience of life.

Excellent topic! I feel...if anything, I've been deprived of my one true love. My parents were married for thousands of years as is my sister and her husband. Why I could never stay married longer than five years with the same man is beyond me. It's not that I'm a demanding woman, far from it. I guess I get bored? tired? something happens at a certain time where I just wake up one day, look at the man and any and all faults we have with each other escalades into a huge battle that ends up in the court room. I do long for that special someone that I can grow old with. The idea of having a man who would be a great father to our children and a loving husband is all but flushed down the drain. Now, I have four children from two marriages, who would want me now? Of course, all my friends tell me I'm so sweet, loving and carring...still, what went wrong? Has being single again at 35 help make me a better person? I don't know. Now, I wished I'd never married the last one and just sat back to see where my life would have taken me. I don't like being alone yet, I haven't found the right man. My mother tells me to give up. *Pleiades

I have been deprived of the gratitude owed to me for the amount of good work to my relatives.I don't mind and I am going my own way.But what beats me is what is making them envy and being jealous of me.It beats me.

Parents. My mother has been in and out of prison my whole life and when she was out she was trying to kidnap me, my brother, or both of us. My father races remote controlled boats that cost thousands of dollars to buy and keep running and lets his electric or water bills go unpaid. He wanted me to move across the country to live with him after not speaking to me for a few years and when I said no, he said, "I wish I had never had a daughter" then through a complete temper tantrum when I didn't invite him to my graduation. I was raised by my aunt and I was basically her slave. She would make me come from across the house to let the dogs out when she was in hands reach of the door. I'm living with my grandmother while I finish up with college and she is the best, but she is getting old and I dont know how to tell her to stop being so obsessed with her job...she is a manager for some duplexes and has to know everything about everyone. I tell her to stop being nosy and she says she isn't! She should not have to know that three doors down, Kat's thirteen year old just broke up with her first boyfriend! I hate gossip and that is all she is doing, its driving me crazy. I cant wait to graduate and move out!

money, wealth and stupidity !
