Most "family" sucks and no one wants to admit it. Everyone wants to desperately believe the propaganda of how family is sacred and these people care and blah blah blah. It's a fantasy, one that people try so hard to believe, that they will willingly let themselves be treated like shit just because the real truth is too painful.

Let's start. My grandparents. They spoiled and enabled some HORRIBLE fucking kids, who went on to become horrible people. My grandparents did all kinds of stupid and fucked up shit when they were young, had kids they weren't ready for, and then willingly spent the rest of their lives sitting on their asses. Doing nothing but eating junk food, drinking shit, and watching mindless garbage on the TV. Did nothing but judge others and spread misery. Life well spent.

My uncle. Piece of shit who everyone detests. Fucked some ugly meth whore and had kids who everyone spoiled, and therefore these kids grew up with very little regard for anyone but themselves. All horrible fucking people.

This cousin on the other side. Spoiled, shit starting whore who fucked her own life up, and does nothing but complain. I was never a bad kid, yet she always projected that I was. Treated me like I was a trouble maker. Acted like I was going to steal shit when I never would have. Would get short with me. Like, she actually got to have a life and was able to make choices for herself growing up, something I never was able to do. I had to be a grownup and had no freedom. I didn't even have a childhood. Why did she resent me? She had everything I didn't, and I just so happened to not be garbage like her.

I was always the outcast when I was never bad. Everyone else was able to drink and cause all kinds of chaos constantly. Yet my timid, scared, quiet, reserved ass was somehow deemed the outcast/crazy one of the bunch. Everyone told me how worthless I was, and from how I was always ignored and treated differently, it cemented this idea that I was not deserving of anything and that I would have no chance in the real world.

Guess what? Things in the real world are 10000X more clear cut and fair than what I was used to. Most people aren't garbage either. People like these fucks are the ones who usually can't hold employment and everything, and it's them, not the rest of the world.

I ended up actually making it through school and chiseling out a stable life for myself. These fucks now look at me like "how did he do that?" like they can't believe it. They had everything I didn't. They could have did 1000X more than me and with greater ease. I just wanted it more, and didn't have the delusions they did of having fame and an easy life handed to them. I worked harder than I ever should have, because I was so miserable and hopeless where I was, that I knew establishing things for myself and getting away was the only way I would ever have a chance at life.

I wish things could have been like Modern Family or some bullshit sitcom like that. But that's a fantasy. No one has that life. I understand most probably don't come from the long lines of white trash that I do, but also most don't seem to be happy with their families.

My last grandparent died recently. I felt no grief because I knew they didn't love me. At the funeral almost everyone didn't talk to one another. All the petty assholes were showing their asses and behaving with immaturity. I feel like I was one of the few who actually showed respect, despite being in a position to where it would have been acceptable to had not, provided how they treated me.

The bitch cousin was there and kept glaring at me. Wow. I'm not an alcoholic. Wow. I didn't have four bratty hyperactive kids by the time I was 25 because I understood cause and effect and didn't go out fucking around. Wow. I hold a job, and have since I first started working. Wow. I'm not constantly over drafting my bank account because I don't get McDonalds every day. How DO I do it?
