What am I?

{This one is also about Hello Neighbor, specifically the relationship between Aaron and his father, Theodore Peterson.}

I can't control this hated curse,

The only thing that matters now

Is to protect them from me,

Because I know I only make it worse.

I stopped fighting voices in my head

That tell me I'm not enough,

To make you proud was all I ever wanted.

But I know I will never measure up;

You treat me like the plague,

I gave all I had for us,

But a sorry excuse for a son

Can only bring a father to shame.

Answer the riddle, dad, it's not hard,

What am I?
