What's the worst thing a parent could say to their kid?

[Conky]

I wish you were never born.

I don't think there's just one thing a parent says that really messes up their kid. You can bet that anyone that could say something so hurtful to their child has already been practicing though most of that kid's life.

For example I went through years of mental and physical abuse from my father and really I couldn't point to just that one conversation or comment where he crossed the line from bad parent to complete bastard.

Still everyone has their breaking point. When he threw my cat against a wall one day I told him if he ever hurt her again I would kill him.

It had an effect I guess, both my parents moved to another state the next month. I haven't spoken to them in years, but I still have my cat

No matter how mad or frustrated I get with my son I would never even dream of saying something like that.

Either that or "we should have gone through with the abortion isntead of raising a stupid, lazy, ungrateful little sh!t like you."

Haha, wow, that would hurt.

"You're a worthless piece of $hit! What the hell do you think you are going to do with your life?" Thanks, mom. Said in the heat of what was a very strenuous time for her, but I will always remember it.

That sucked, and I was arguably one of the most successful kids in my small high school. Heck, probably still am, but I am not one to really benchmark myself against other people. Happiness comes in different forms and is probably one of the most difficult thing to judge.

I once heard the quote:"You're the load your Mom should have swallowed" I think that would top it.

"if it was up to me you would have been aborted"

Very true, not one my father said surprised or hurt me much in it's self, it was just a reminder of a terrible parent he was.

"Your brother is also your dad."

If someone already said something like that, I'm sorry...I'm really lazy and can't find the patience to read through all of these...
