I'm definitely the black sheep of my family, and I've lived most of my adult life with minimal contact with them. In a way that makes me sad, but overall I feel thankful to have been spared years of family drama-- and family response to me as lazy, foolish, and messed up. Btw I've never been able to save money either-- mostly due to the fact that I spend it recklessly when I'm hypomanic. Now that I'm 59 that's the one thing I wish I could go back and change. Not to live for money, but to save enough to survive when I'm too old to work anymore.
