    Angry My fathead family- Venting

    My family always fights. It seems they pick the weakest link, then knock on them. Today, I'm not any better...
    So, my aunt just had gastric bypass. For the past week I'm listening to my family treat it like she had open heart surgery. So supportive. Which is good. Great for her. Especially since she ate McDonalds every day for the past ten years and never made an effort to lose weight. Meanwhile they're picking on my Mom. My Mom sucks, she was terrible at times, but she's much better now with medication. Somehow I get involved in the middle. Today, my aunt is bitching about how she's going to do this, or say that, to my Mom. Who really only wants to be left alone. So, I'm listening. And in my head I'm going over all that family support bullshit. I had two surgeries, neither of which they showed up for, oh and by the way, told me to fuck myself while going through. I get raped a couple times. No one was there. I tell my aunt to knock it off. Leave my Mom alone. So, she starts in on me. Says there's a million people walking around in my shoes. I'm so self absorbed. I should shut-up. I'm a stripper with no self value. And, whaah. Whatever that means. So I say the thing I can't take back...
    "I had surgery because I have something valid. Not because I couldn't stop eating. Fuck off."
    I did get an apology note. But the whole thing just rubbed me the wrong way. It seems so funny to me that pretty much everyone in my family is a bad person. Lies, cheats, steals, smokes crack, is an alcoholic, etc. But, I'm a stripper. So, all the good I've done just sort of goes away.
    Do you have sympathy for people like this? I just can't rationalize taking shit off of someone simply because they've eaten themselves into being fat.

    You had every right to say that. Some people don't know when to stop. My family thinks I'm nuts for being a stripper but I can't get away with displaying to them the obvious asset that made it such a lucrative decision (my body.) It's not like I ran off and did it to mess up their world, I needed money and had a hot body. Most of the time, the hating is just jealousy.
    Avoid your auntie. Let it be. No point in talking to her anymore. If you want to be grand about fence-mending, buy her something very nice that she'll know you wouldn't have been able to buy for her otherwise if you weren't a stripper. Then mention you got a discount on it too since you paid with cash. ; )

    You can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your family.

    There are certain people in my family I haven't spoken to in over 15 years. And I am one of those "respectable" types (Mathematician.)

    Every family has a set of goofs, so you are not alone.

    my family is JUST like that...a bunch of druggies, losers and mentally unstable people. I'm the only one with a "normal" life...they'd all shit a house worth of bricks if they found out I dance...Even if they did, I'd still be making more money than all of them!
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing

    I wish you could sell your family including mother in laws.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    I fell into a depression when I was 13 years old. Why? I had no future. In other words, my future was already decided. I was to follow in my fathers occupation, which was his fathers occupation, etc, etc. Why me? Why not my older siblings (sisters)? I saw that staying with my family had no future.
    Well, this place is not for extended period of psychoanalysis.
    The net result is, I left to create my own future and am, as of now, content.
    I much prefer my preseent hand to mouth existence with peace of mind than have followed into an occupation with mindless bickering and fighting. (I bet I live longer and die happy!)
