I Put Myself For Adoption After My Parents MOCKED Me

So, I was born into a 'seemingly' happy family of a rich dad and a beautiful mom. But unlike most parents, my parents didn't get married because they truly loved each other… it was more based on their selfish needs. My dad's wealth was what attracted my mom to him. And my dad went after her because he wanted to prove that he could marry whoever he wanted. Just because. Everything was pretty smooth-sailing at first until the unexpected happened.
I was 12 when my dad suddenly lost his job. Not that he was fired but the company ran into a lot of debts and had to fold. He got another job but it didn’t pay so much as his former job. We had to cut back on many expenses to cope with the new change but that didn’t make my mom very happy.
My happy home transformed from a peaceful, money-spending one into one that survived pay-check to pay-check with constant quarrels. Every day I would hear things like, “What do you mean I can’t go to Barbados this weekend?” and “You’re such a demanding, selfish wife.” I didn’t mind so much until I started to see a side to them that I never knew existed.
First, they became so self-centered that even though they said they loved me, they still ended up putting their own needs first. They were so unsympathetic even concerning the issues that they were a cause of. Once, they had stayed up all night on the eve of my 14th birthday, yelling at each other. I was used to this but it lasted till morning and they didn't even wish me a happy birthday. I got mad and complained but they said that their problems were worse than mine. Of course, I felt bad but I just told myself they were having a bad day or something. Ya...it made me feel better.
Before I continue, remember I told you they lived like they hated each other. But when it came to me, it was like they saw it as a chance to dump all their frustrations on me. I knew their attitude towards me was toxic but I also didn’t want them to end up getting a divorce or something. But it kept getting worse.
It was their wedding anniversary and I saw it as a chance to get them closer. I looked up some romantic ideas on the internet and I got to work. I spent most of the day cleaning and preparing a nice dinner, I even got some candles and rose petals. I had hoped that when they saw this, they would see that we don't need a lot of money to be a happy family. But it turned out to be a complete waste of my time. They pretended not to notice the changes around the house and spent the whole of dinner-time criticising the meal. I told them I took all this trouble for their anniversary but they laughed and said, "This is the silliest idea we've heard all week, Clarissa." Nothing I did was ever enough for them.
One time, I had a B+ in my exams in the 8th grade. It was the most stressful term as all the times I wanted to read at night, their fighting distracted me. I was happy I didn’t fail but when I showed them my results, my mom rolled her eyes while my dad said, “This isn’t good enough. We only want to see A+ every time.”
So, when my friend from school invited me to her pool party the next term, I just had to lie that we were visiting the suburbs that same day. Don’t judge me. You don’t expect me to tell her that my parents had found a way of manipulating me into believing that hanging out with my friends was why I had a B+ the last term. Ya…exactly. Now we’re both on the same page.
Through all of this, I found a way of coping until one day. You see, it was supposed to be a special day for me but they ruined it. It was my 15th birthday and I just got straight A’s too. I couldn’t wait to show my parents my grades with the hope that I could finally get their approval. That, for me, was going to be the best birthday gift but I had something else coming.
I went to my parents' room to show them my grades. And just as I was about to knock, I heard my mom telling my dad that she never would have stayed longer in the marriage if I didn't come along. My dad also dished out his part and said, "If not for Clarissa's birth, I would have known I needed a career change a long time ago." Instead of throwing their words at each other, they chose to blame all their problems on me and concluded they might file for a divorce. I felt a sudden rage and I knew that I had finally had enough.
I got rid of my phone in case my parents or anyone from school wanted to reach me. The orphanage was nothing like home but the good thing was I was free from constant quarrels. There were a few teenagers like me and a lot of babies. They had a lot of rules though and one of them included cutting my hair to save money on maintenance. The caregivers said, "Don't worry, it would all grow back before you turn 18." I got to like my new look even though I looked different. There were always chores to do and since I loved to cook, I was always assigned to the kitchen. It was like an adventure at first but it got quite tiresome.
