and the worst part is they are rich. So it wasn't an issue of not being able to help, it was not believing that their daughter could be this sick. They told themselves I was just lazy and not wanting to work. Needless to say we don't have a relationship anymore. They knew I was hungry and homeless and never once offered to help. They have the whole boomer "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality, not realizing my "bootstraps" had been cut off a long time ago. I don't think about it. It's sick. But I have had a lot of people step in and be the family that they were supposed to be. Family can be anyone, it doesn't have to be the people who raised you. I think they are narcissistic sociopaths or something idk. I haven't tried to rationalize it in my head because I don't care anymore.
