People do not have a clue to what is inside of you unless you are open with them and talk to them. They may very well have been your parents but a lot of what you went through and suffered inside of you was there, not on the surface and open to them.

You had them you just may not have used them the way you should have. Parents are there to help, to guide and to assist. They can only do so much if you do not open your heart to them and talk to them about what is going on in your life and around it.

Cause Parent's always seem to think they know better than there children,just cause they are older!

But it doesn't always mean that they are wiser.....!

Adults have a tainted view,while the kid's have know other reference from there past to cloud what they see....and are honest!
