Gifts from my parents

Do we ever get compensated
For the pain our parents cause us
Through their words and actions
The burning of skin after a slap
Or the arrow that pierces a heart
When made to feel worthless

Do we ever get a new start in life
Where we are no longer burdened
By our parents and everything they did
And didn't do
Every word they said
And didn't say

Do they at least apologize?
Do they ever accept blame?
