1. I may agree with you that you are really hurt, but, ask yourself also, is my family hurting too, probably yes.
2. If you feel you have bad parents, how are you as a son? are you a good son or a bad son?
3. In our life time, we will only have one father and one mother. You can have many friends, relatives, siblings and even wives, but parents, you will only have one set. When they are gone, their gone forever.
4. Educate yourself, education makes the empty mind become wise and mature one. I am not saying you have an empty mind, I am saying is make your mind work properly.
5. There is no better way than to share your success and failures with your family. Even if you will be the riches/most successful guy 10 years from now, it is useless without a family to share it with, don't you agree?
6. Forgiveness is a process, but once achieved, it will open new doors for you and your family. If you get there, it's like you jump from a tower yet you landed on both feet alive and well. If you won't forgive, it's like you are walking in a tunnel carrying two bags of cement.
I believe you are an inteligent person. You rebeling is part of your life-path. You did not mention your age. Think about this, life is brokendown into stages. There are things you can do at 20-30 years old which you will not be able to do when you are 40 already. That's just the way life is, so choose wisely.
People will always look up to where you are and not where you came from. So if you choose to stay where you are right now and will result to runing yourself, people will remember you as a big failure. But if you will come out and do the right things and be a man of actions and accountability, you will be remembered as such. It's your choice, would you prepare to be dragged down by your hate or prefer to get out of it and stop being slave of the past.
For it doesn't matter how you fall, what matters is how you stand up and recover from the fall.
These are not just words taken from books Kyle, these are from my box of experiences when I was your age.
God bless you
