#1: I'm having a lot of problems with my family. They've always been abusive, but I feel like they resent the financial independence dancing gave me. I don't depend on them so I don't put up with their shit like my siblings do. I started dancing right after high school and never lived at home again - during the summers I'd travel around dancing and living at friend's houses. I looked at my parent's tax return to fill out my financial aid papers for school, and last year I made more than my parents! And they were supporting the two of them, my brother, my sister and her baby. 5 people! Granted, they also were living off (AKA pissing away) the money they made selling their house, but still. I'm 23 and I made more than my father who is 47!!! And I wasn't exactly busting my ass, either. I'm literally the ONLY person in my immediate family who has gone to "real" college, lived alone, been out of the country, and bought a new car. These people basically work jobs they hate to buy shit they don't need and are incapable of any self-examination or self-improvement. They say horrible things about me, like I'm a plastic titted bitch, a whore, a snob, and materialisic. They always thought I was snobby (because I wanted to go to college and not community college!). We were out to a restaurant once for someone's birthday, and I ordered wine and they gave me a hard time for being "fancy". No joke. I started dancing because I knew they weren't normal and I had to be independent of them, and you need money for that!
My little brother who's 21 hates me because he's stuck living with them and I'm not - but if he ever held down a job and maybe got roommates, he wouldn't have to!
My dad hates me because he always has, now he just has more ammo because I'm a gold digging whore stripper druggie drunk. I literally try to NEVER see him.
My mother and I are having a hard time, I think in part, because I used to look like her and I've had some surgery (and I'm getting more) and I don't look like her - I look pretty! I think she realized she fucked up by marrying my father, and she regrets never being strong enough to take care of herself - so she hates me, the opposite of her.
My sister hates me because by the time she was my age, she had a 4 year old baby and never got to have the crazy party girl life I've had - which I think every girl needs to have!
