If your parents have told you that they never wanted you then they are a couple of arseholes and never deserved to have you in the first place. i make no apologies for what i say if this is true what you say. Why let them ruin your life...just because there soposed to be parents does not mean they must be right...and somthing is wrong with you...parents should never say that to their children. You are too wounded or BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD BE because of what they said...leave it all in the past and remember their words are worthless just like their parenting obviously. Go where happiness lives and kind words. Father figure not needed , you just believe you should have one.
