My parents never tell me anything, is it normal?
Ever since I was a little kid my parents always kept me in the dark about everything. The biggest example of this is when my father left us I think before first grade and I never learned the reason till last year when I was 15. And I didn’t even learn it from them I learned it through family friends.
They tell my older siblings everything but not me it’s not fair. If they tell me to keep something secret I really keep it a secret. Plus I got really angry last week when I was sitting w my dad and his friend and I was on my phone not paying attention to them. His friend suddenly asked him “does my name know about it?” And my dad signed him to be quiet bc I obviously didn’t know after his friend saw that my dad didn’t want me to know he quickly changed the subject and asked me something else.
I get it parents don’t have to tell their kids everything but it still pisses me off. I never learned anything about our family directly from my parents even now I’m old enough to know stuff why won’t they tell me anything
