Today I had to file for bankruptcy. I cannot ever imagine anything harder to do, knowing all along that it was my fault that my life had to come to this. Throughout my entire childhood my parents taught me responsibility. They instilled into me the importance of looking after myself. As a child I dreamed of the future and what amazing things I would be when I would grow up. I was content as a child and enjoyed all of the wonderful things that my parents gave to me. I grew up too fast.  Once I had gone out on my own I realized how much I depended on my parents but was embarrassed to tell them so. After renting my own apartment, I soon married and unfortunately it came to an abrupt end. My wife and I broke up because she blamed me that I wasn’t responsible enough to pay off my mortgage and attend to the regular bills that any couple does. Knowing where that would head to, she cut off all ties with me and now my life is miserable. I know that the burden lies on me to make things right again, to start my life on my own with a true sense of responsibility.
