Actually no. I guarantee you the OP hasn’t been through half of what I have - far more than divorced parents. I don’t need to share all of that with a message board. Blaming your parents for your own actions is a cop out. It’s ok to explain that your home life was rough. But to blame his single mother for his low grades is really counterproductive and wrong. People with that attitude tend to struggle all their lives.
@itsgettingreal17 Don’t compare my life with yours- of which you know nothing about, and don’t paint a picture of my life from one post!
Of course I take personal responsibility for my life, but whether I assign some fault to my mom, or not for my failures, (and I certainly do not credit her for my successes) is my business. Let’s get off this topic and focus on the main point of this thread.
I’ve got to ask: Exactly how can you “guarantee” anything at all about what the OP has been through? I’m assuming that you’re strangers in real life. All you know of the OP is what he/she has chosen to share here.
When you’re worried about your chances, the best thing is to love your safety and your back up plan, not to wish that someone on the internet would encourage you more. That little voice that’s discouraged might actually be on to something. The odds may not be not in your favor. But you can make a plan B that ensures you will still have a great future even if plan A doesn’t happen.
