i don't have cf, but i can understand your anger for the way your parents have treated you. that's different than blaming them for "giving" you cf. one is their fault; the other is not. i'd be resentful too if my parents laughed at me or encouraged me to give up. i'm sorry you have to deal with that on top of your cf. i hope things get better for you.

Nope, never, and I was even the 2nd child born with CF in my immediate family. I would doubt that when I was born they knew that they had a 25% chance of my having CF and even so, I would not be bitter.
IMO, what's it going to solve to blame my parents for my CF? It is what it is and I can't change it, so I move forward & make the best of it that I can.
I'm sorry you don't have an ideal set-up with your parents, but as others have alluded to, maybe your anger at their treatment is mis-directed towards your CF?
What's the chance of you moving out on your own to lessen the stress with your parents?

Two things:
1) As to your original question about "did anyone else feel this way" I think Kristen answered well, from a stand point of someone who can feel your pain. It seems as if your resentment towards your parents isn't about them passing CF onto you, but about their inability to deal with it properly and effectively communicate with you about it. I can't even comprehend not having supportive parents. I confess I have no idea what that must feel like and how hard it must be to cope with that.
2) For the parents who might read this: I don't think your kids will most likely resent you because, let's be honest, those of us who have been blessed to have great parents (like Kelly) rarely think about blaming them for our CF (this is just a hunch). But I think this thread is a good reminder to parents that how you approach CF and how you choose to deal with it greatly impacts your children and how they view their CF.
I hope I said that all with as much care and tact as possible.</end quote></div>
I agree w/ what Lindsay said..
I am sorry that your parents are so thoughtless and uncaring ..

I have wonderful parents and there are times I do blame them. Yes, it is totally irrational but when I am sick and barely breathing and sad I do it. I totally understand that feeling and do believe that there are a lot of people that blame their parents. Yes, it is wrong but sometimes you can't help your feelings.
