My dad walked out on my family when I was ten, starting my overeating problems and abandonment issues.
...Though I got off easy, compared to other people from my canon.

Have you taken any steps to resolve these issues? Counseling? Seeking a mentor? We know about the extra Crispy at KFC.
Mom died giving birth to me. Dad hates me because of this. Still doing whatever I can to earn his forgiveness but apparently, and I quote from the man himself, letting people down is my forte.
Oh yeah, and the man is going to die soon so I'll get to add "orphan" to the list too. So I've got that to look forward to.
But billionaire orphans tend to become superheroes so it might not be all that bad.

Are you going to wear a cape?
My birth father pretty much paid off my birth mother to keep me out of his life because of his political aspirations.
My birth mother faked her death when I was 18 months old and only my ability to heal from injuries saved my life.
My adoptive father lied to me for pretty much my entire life and is a control-freak bastard who has continuously wiped the memories of myself, my brother and my mother. To the point where my mother has suffered severe health issues.
When I found my birth mother, she used me to get more money out of my birth father.
Oh, and when I found out who my birth father was?It ruined my dreams of happily ever after with Peter Turned out he and my grandmother were manipulative, sadistic freaks who were willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for the 'good of mankind'.
My birth father kind of redeemed himself by keeping my uncle from accidentally blowing up New York City, killing them both in the process.

So. Just your typical family stuff, right?
It's not really my mom I have an issue with; it's all those other people she keeps turning into.
Oh man. I never realized Nightcrawler had a sister.
My father has staggeringly high expectations of me, favours my foster sister over me, and seems to think that saying he's proud of me once every blue moon makes up for every time he forcibly shoves me at danger to show my courage, or throws me in jail for risking my neck to save a servant. He has massive anger issues, favours his fears over hopes, is extraordinarily irrational about magic and likes to take that out on me and said foster-sister whenever the moment strikes.
And yet I crave his approval like a trained dog. Not that I'd admit to any of that.
And he never tells me he loves me unless I've just almost died.
Oh, and like Chuck mentioned above, I killed my mother by being born! ... or rather, as I don't actually know yet, the magic used to concieve me killed my mom, and my father still has some Issues over that lot.

Didn't you just admit to that?
My parents were emotionally distant and let me go off to military school when I was six years old.
Now they don't write to me and I sincerely think that all they want is that cuddly six-year-old, and not the bloody murderer I am.
Really, my parental issues are light in comparison to my staggering sibling issues.

Would you like to talk about your siblings? This is a post of open communication about our feelings. Please share with the group.
My mom bailed on me and my dad when things got rough. I tracked her down a couple years later and found out she was an alcoholic. Spent my college money to get her treatment. She lied to me about being better and then split with a big bonus my dad got for a case.
So, yeah, that's why I don't drink often and why I don't plan on having kids.

Couldn't you take the lessons you learned from your mother and... well maybe not be an alcoholic?
My dad is on the run from the law and my mom is living in Europe with her other family.
And that's nothing compared to my brother issues.

Please... tell us about the Beaver.
My parents are religious crazies who lock my littlest sister in a closet and make her fill out notebooks with Bible verses.
Are you trying to help your sister get free?
My mom, her sisters and my dad faked their deaths to hide the fact they were magic from the government, so my brother and I were raised by our grandfather.
Only we didn't know they had faked their deaths until a couple of years ago. When we found out we have a little sister we never knew about.
Oh, and the alternate universe version of my mom who graduated from here? Is dating some wanna be lawyer dude and not my dad.

Does the thought of possibly not existing in another universe bother you?
Well, no one's sure where or who my bio-parents are, although I'm privately of the opinion that they're dead, and to be honest, I don't care.
My only father-figure was a manipulative psychopath who had the scientists cut me up and break me, and pretended to love me so long as he could use me. Oh, then he tried to kill me to bring about the end of the world.
The doctors say that I don't have Issues -- I have a few subscriptions.

Ooo. Do you have Highlights?
My mom died trying to protect me and my dad might think that killing me is the only way to save me. So, you know, typical stuff.
No killing you.
That would upset Peter.
That would upset Peter.
Fuck off, I don't have any fucking parental issues.
Now, now. This is a place of openess and sharing. Share!
My mom left a few years ago and I have no idea where she is. My dad is really flaky and paranoid and sometimes he leaves for days at a time. So he's kinda not really there.
Abandonment issues? Yes. I think we can say that safely, right?
My parents died because of me.
Would you like to share your guilt with the rest of the class?
Pretty sure my mother's a frakking alcoholic which she blames on my father. My father, on the other hand, is not an alcoholic. My father is a high ranking military commander who never has or had time for me or my brother. He had virtually no part in raising either us but now wants us to follow in his footsteps. He casts a shadow so large that the name Adama is almost a curse. He's unemotional and aloof yet my brother craved his approval so much that he died for it.
My father disapproves of my life choices, thinks it's only going to lead to wrong choices and refuses to see my point of view on things. He wants to run my life without being in my life.
Frakking Old Man.

So... Resentful would be an understatement?
Both my parents are alcoholics, my mom bolted a couple years ago and my dad lives somewhere else and left me alone in the care of my brother.
Who dumped me off here.
Yeah.
Who dumped me off here.
Yeah.
And how does that make you feel?
My father walked out on me, my sisters, and my mom when I was very young. A few years after that, my mother was killed by a demon.
Well see that's...
Okay, demon killing has nothing to do with typical abandoment issues.

My mom died when I was six and my dad is a hardass who expects too much of me. Oh and he's always going on about how great my sister is, which makes me feel like a complete failure.
And I'm still spending the summer with him. Go figure.

And how is spending the summer working out for you? Are you mending bridges? Growing closer?
My mother died in front of me from a sudden brain aneurysm. I brought her back to life with one touch and then got to watch her die again when she went to kiss me goodnight and died because of that. I got to watch my mother die twice.
My father dumped me off at a boarding school, promising he'd come back for me. I waited. He never came. One Halloween night, I sneaked out and saw my father with his new family, new kids, new wife and having forgotten me.
Oh, and I can't touch my dog or I'll kill him too.

Between you and Lee, I can't decide who has it worse.
Daddy wanted his little girls to be perfect. He taught sharpshooting at the military academy, so Rosalind and I were going to attend the academy, specializing in sharpshooting, and graduate at the very top of our classes, and make him very, very proud.
Rosalind did all that, and then was recruited into the Turks. Daddy was so proud. She was always his favorite, anyway.
I got sick of never being good enough for him and switched from sharpshooting to martial arts. I was amazing at martial arts. I set a fucking record, at the academy. And Daddy was disappointed in me, for not staying with sharpshooting like St. Rosalind did. He washed his hands of me at that point.
When Rosalind died, he locked himself in his study and started drinking. He just gave up. Nothing mattered - his perfect angel was dead, and I was just the fuck-up. I was never going to be Rosalind, so I didn't matter.
I left his house the day I joined the Turks and I haven't spoken to him since. The town was destroyed, so he might be dead now. I don't know. I don't think I care.

My dad's a complete fucking moron, which should be an issue in itself.
And my mum got depressed after my brother got hit by a bus, started abusing his meds to take the edge off and left me to look after the both of them while dad was away. Way to be responsible for your fifteen year-old daughter and son with a brain injury.
Now I think she's having an affair.

My parents aren't too bad, I guess. I mean, some of my dad's opinions kinda piss me off, and I'm pretty sure he wishes I were just a normal kid instead of, you know, a mutant. But other than that...

If your father has issues with you being Gifted, I can suggest a long walk off a very short pier to cure him of that problem...
