Oh hi there, Dearest Daddy and my darling step-mommy!
Remember how I’m putting myself through college? Like, that whole thing where I have scholarships and loans in my name? And I’m paying for my own car and insurance and cell bill and credit card and basically have been financially independent from anyone for the last three years?
Yeah, that’s pretty cool, huh. ? And I know you’re all proud of me and stuff. But, um, here’s the thing: yeah, when you promise to send me money because I have a business trip to NYC and would like a little extra doff to buy you presents and, y’know…eat? Or when I’m strapped for cash one semester and I’d like a simple hundy to get me through a month? Or, hey, when my *tooth breaks* and I’d like to go to a dentist to get it fixed, but I have no dental insurance and no money to take care of it and you’re all, “Why, of course we’ll send you money so that you can get through a simple meal without wondering if food is going to get stuck in your giant, chipped tooth hole and become abcessed, leading to having to have the tooth pulled and a root canal which we know you can’t afford!”
Yeah, when you promise me all the stuff and then you don’t follow through? Guess what that makes you: lying liars who lie. Do me a favor. Don’t promise it to me if you don’t have it. If you say “we don’t have the extra cash right now” for the love of God, I’ll understand (until you spend $700 for the step-kiddles to go to junior and sophomore prom, which is a rant of a different color).
In conclusion: don’t be surprised if I don’t come home for Christmas because I can’t afford gas.
All my love!
Schwa
OMG that is so my MIL and FIL albeit as a married couple with kids we should have our shit together to be caught up and taking care of what needs o be done. My for example is as follows:Sometimes you do need a little help so when we ask for a little help fixing a car or septic system cause the stupid neighbor reported us and you say your gonna help do it but don’t they just make excuses and help the BIL (who just got out of jail and has no wife or kids)and SIL(who has no joband no husband and no kids) who live off welfare while we work hard to maintain for our kids.
I’d be finding a nice surrogate family and spending Christmas with them if it were me.
How do you stand it?

Rant on! I am so behind you on this one!
Do you want me to egg their house?
That was my dad and stepmom, too.
I joined the Army National Guard and during our weekly five-minute call home from basic training, they’d tell me they couldn’t talk because they had to call my stepbrother in jail.
Oh, I could go on and on with the imbalance and craziness.
I just learned never to ask for anything and I became a bit of a workaholic because I knew that I had no family to turn to in a pinch.
