I am 34 and the only successful person in my extended family. I can’t talk to any of my cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, or even my mother about anything anymore, because they are living a completely different lifestyle than me. They are all either unemployed or underemployed, high school dropouts with no marketable skills. I have a Master’s degree from an Ivy League school and a career I love. I waited until I could afford children to have them, and my days are filled with happiness. It’s getting to the point where I just avoid contact with everyone except my mother. There is no way for me to even be around them without looking like I am bragging about my wealth. I pull up in my new Sienna (for the kids – need the minivan), and park it next to their 20-year-old fords. I walk in wearing khakis and a button-down shirt, which is my casual wear, and they are all in Goodwill sweats. They talk about how miserable things are for them, and I just have to nod my head and agree, even though things are great for me. I genuinely can’t think of anything to talk to them about that doesn’t make me seem pompous. Summer plans? They are working or looking for jobs. I’m going to the Bahamas with the family for two weeks. I wonder if anyone else is in the same situation. I just wish the rest of my family would get their s*** together.

I f****** hate you (bf) , you f****** manipulative,hypocrite, emotionally abusive, vaping, life draining, wannabe player b******. I.HATE YOU. I still deeply resent you. This is why everyone thinks you’re an a****** at your job. You’re not some anti-hero that you claimed to be. No- You’re just an a******. Point blank . Especially to me of all people! You always take it out on me, and you still wonder why I won’t touch you like that or shut down completely with you. Everytime you sense or feel even an inch that im happy, peaceful, something I enjoy doing you immediately smash that down so you can feel better and have power over me. What’s funny is that every time you’re in the wrong, overstep your boundaries, make me really upset or talk crap to me – karma smacks you right in the face everytime & you don’t even realize it. Funny how you’ve said yourself that people spit at the sky just for it to come back-yet you’ve done the exact same thing too – you’re not godlike or safe from getting karma, even I’ve dealt with karma too when I was in the wrong many times too. So no- you’re not a misunderstood dark knight turn bad like the joker you claim to be. You’re just an egotistical bigoted jerk & everyone can see that except you. I hate myself that I fell for your facade – lovebomb trap years ago . And all the times that you’ve talked crap about other’s appearances, especially women’s, karma yet again smacked you in the face & put on a ton of weight and still wonder why you haven’t lost pounds but still continue on demanding me to cook & make you even more food despite you complaining about it , hmmmm , gee I wonder why. Anyways , glad to vent that out .
