Parents Withhold Important Medical Information About Their Child And Get Mad When Their Child Discovers It

Some parents keep medical information from their children, and the fallout can last for years. In this Reddit story, one person grew up believing there was no real treatment for their nose and sinus problems, only to later discover that wasn’t true at all.

Redditor Parentsliedthrow3 says their parents told them there was no cure or medication for the issue, and that doctor visits never led anywhere. After growing up and finally getting access to their medical records, they found out the truth, and it changed how they saw everything that happened before.

Now the family is dealing with the consequences of that secret. Read on. Parentsliedthrow3

It's definitely an appalling case because these parents allowed their child to struggle with breathing for years simply because it was too much for them to handle. Other Redditors seem to agree.

Many were horrified, and some were downright angry at how these parents behaved. Check out some of the best comments.

Exactly! Those are their records, and their parents had no right to withhold information that could have improved their life.

Right? How in the world do they have the gall to get mad at their child for what is obviously their mistake?

hello_friendss

It wasn't even too much work!

This also feels like the son who asked his parents for loan repayment flexibility, and the family tension that followed.

Of all the conditions their child could have had, dry sinuses should have been one of the easiest to manage.

They probably didn't want to see anything that would remind them of how neglectful they are.

PuzzledLight

They were thinking more of the sister's welfare than the welfare of both their children.

minuteye

They didn't try simply because they didn't want to.

Even plants received better treatment than OP did from their parents.

They skipped out on that responsibility and are still trying to do so.

It's their life, their health, their body!

OP has every right to be angry at them because they withheld important information that could have significantly improved OP's life.

Mad-Elf

Shame on those parents indeed.

Dont-trust-it

They tick all the boxes, alright.

Ornery-Guitar-1234

It's as if they think they own every right and decision that should be made about OP.

SubstantialDrawing7

They wanted their child to be dependent on their words.

YawnPolice

If only they were reported.

bakedjennett

See? It's all about taking responsibility and genuinely caring for your child.

Enjoy the easy breathing and the life away from those awful parents.

Dstareternl

They made life harder for OP before, and who knows what else they are willing to do?

Catatomical

They definitely failed in this one important aspect.

kraftypsy

OP's parents really failed him in that aspect of his life, so we hope they were at least good parents in other ways. If not, we hope OP can find the courage to let them go and be with people who actually care about him.

Hopefully, OP is also in a better place in their life and won't have to deal with those sinus problems ever again.
