Well....it would take me hours to paint the picture of my parents. They were honest, hard working, both served our country, (as did I), responsible, etc. BUT....when it came to compassion/caring? As little as they could get away with. (Example: I was very sick with a stomach ailment when I was a teenager. All my mother did was yell at me that there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head. When I was diagnosed? She rejected the doctor's word because she had never heard of it)Support? You should do for yourself. Problems? You probably asked for it.Friends/boyfriends? They are not good enough for you but you are not good enough for us. School/life/looks/demeanor? Why can't you be like your sister/cousin/niece/or anyone else who is better in a particular area than you....
