Need some perspective!

Hi everyone
I've been a long time member here...still haven't sorted out things!
Do any adoptee's ever just feel like throwing in the towel? I am so tired of my bparents not understanding. I am so tired of feeling let down...it hurts. I'm tired of feeling like an obligation..rather than a daughter. I have been told that I should empathize with how guilty they must feel (I also had a bad childhood). I"m just so tired of compromising...why can't either of them step up to the plate ???
I"m currently reading the book "coming home to self" and it has been a REALLY hard read. I can see how numb both my bparents are...I just want to run ..why should I do all the self help work..and they do none??
