[QUOTE="witzend, post: 191385, member: 99"] I wish I could say that I didn't know how it feels. I do. The only thing I can say is that you are lucky enough that your mother is dead, instead of having to put up with Cory telling you that you haven't done enough to repair your relationship with your mom and her posse because she's a sick old woman. That's the argument I have with L every 8 to 18 months lately. And it always ends up with me screaming "I don't do it because I [i]hate[/i] those people! They're garbage to me! I don't care if they all drop dead tomorrow, and if it's a long and painful death all the better!" This, by the way, is [i]my[/i] version of falling for L's crud the way that you fell for Cory's with "I hope you are abused!" They went too far. They're trying to be superior to us. They are not superior to us. I think it's this thing where we have been belittled by our families in front of them for so long, that even though they know it's not true, they also know that they have never been belittled like that, and they aren't half the people we are or even were as parents to them. Yet there they sit with no job and no prospects or on their way to jail (L isn't because her dad's an attorney if you ask me) and they can't believe that they are in that position when they've been hearing crud about you your whole life. Why aren't [i]you[/i] in jail? Why are [i]you[/i] living a decent life? They've got to take you down a notch. I know that you mean you won't ever forgive him. I feel the same about L. My respect for her is non-existent. She's nearly 25 years old, has lied to everyone about every aspect of her life, has no job, lives with a sugar daddy, and is being supplemented by her father who has been giving her money to live on her own since she was 17. She's snotty and steals from her family because she believes that she is entitled to anything that she wants without so much as asking or earning. Does it feel bad? Yep. It feels bad. Is it wrong? I don't think so. I think that when you learn to protect yourself from your family, and to no longer be their scapegoat, it is beyond the pale to hear that garbage from your child's mouth. Especially when that child is the one that you gave up your dignity for so many times. Because your child is no longer "a child". They're adults, and they're nasty pieces of work and they went too far. So, that's my theory. Aside from that, in all practicality, if catch him in your house with dope again in that short amount of time Cory is with you, walk away and call 911. He doesn't deserve your protection.
