Not necessarily. The amount of support given (I assume you are referring to financial here) does not equate with their love for the child. It seems as though you hav a very unusual set of circumstances within your situation. I still don't realy get what they are, but your parents love should never be based upon the amount of financial support they give you. Ya can't buy love. Emotional support is a totally different matter. Parents should invariably support their children in whatever endeavors the child chooses. Unless it is unhealthy, dangerous or illegal. Again though, I am not certain that these are really relevant to their love. Different parents parent differently.

Many children pay for their own tuition and/or books. I don't understand the relevance.

What are you saying then? What are you looking for from your parents that they are apparently not providing, in your opinion?

When I was a teenager, I absolutely hated my father, or thought I did. I thought he favored my older brothers and gave them things that I didn't get. I believed that he talked to them about things and spent more time with them than with me. I carried a lot of ill conceived resentment toward him for many years. I had no idea what his motives were until I was much older and we talked it out. Only then after I matured did I understand his position and reasoning.
