I don't think my parents told me enough how the world doesn't really care about me. I think it's important to tell children that the world doesn't really care about you. You have to fight to be heard.

The only thing I know is that no one ever sat in a therapist's or a psychiatrist's room saying, 'My parents just loved me too much.' The only thing you can do is love them and be around. Kids don't really care what your car is like or how big their house is. All they really care about is that you are around.
Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know. I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
I cannot cure myself of that most woeful of youth's follies - thinking that those who care about us will care for the things that mean much to us.
Things parents say to children are oftentimes not heard, but in some cases you pick up on things that your parent would like to see you have done.
My parents are really well intended, and I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself.
There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.
My parents didn't care very much what I did, and that was probably a blessing.
You can't say one thing and behave another way. Kids learn more from watching you in life than what you say to them.
I think my parents did a great job of reminding me that I wasn't as big a deal as maybe I thought I was at times.
When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.
