Our generation on the other had can have Masters, PHD but still have no choice but to work min wage, can't afford a home etc. But apparently his generation is the best and mine is lazy and useless.

Funny how my sister defended my father when I complained about him calling me useless, but is now venting on about how she's hurt by something awful he said to her... I just feel Shea great at invalidating me.

I tend to somehow not fall apart when people are around me as well. At the most it's a silent meltdown then the smile gets reapplied.

It's OK to not have answers, although it can be such a painful place to be. Often I don't know what helps either. If talking on the couch helps, talk away


Less than 3.50$ an hour? :O I guess we have a similar problem here. Everyone needs to have a master to get hired, so now everyone is doing a master and they aren't really worth anything anymore...

Sorry your sister is invalidating you... I wonder if she's realizing what she's doing
