Even When

They promise that they will do anything for you, they don't even attempt to deliver.

I do not understand how they can say that they love me and would do anything for me, but when it comes to helping me with something they don't agree with, they turn their backs and wait to watch me fail.
I will say that if I were doing something even slightly bad or stupid, I would listen to them and not proceed.
But this is a well thought out event that is showing love and servitude for those that are less fortunate.
For those that are cast down in society.
For those that we are called to help.

How can you turn your back on your child because she wants to give back for all of the blessings she's received?

I have thought about this, prayed about this, and I know where I am needed.
If they can't or won't help me get there, then I will do it on my own.

It's just really upsetting to find out that you can't always count on your parents.


It is, in fact, a wake-up call.
You can't ALWAYS count on anyone.
Once again, everyone will let you down.

What a shame.

My hopes are high, however.
I know that even though the things of the world will let you down and lead you astray.
But it can be overcome, and we will reside in a place far better than what we see here.

One day.
