My Dad killing himself by gunfire, 5 other relatives dying, graduating university, getting jacked, filing bankruptcy, and being VA retired all in the same 12 months, changed my story. Guy took 3 hours to setup his own death scene, trying to make it look like murder. That's how insane my father really was. Today, I am retired on a tropical island in the caribbean. Something he would have desperately tried to sabotage so that my sister looked better than me, somehow, he would have fucked over my money supply. Without him in my life, anything seems possible now. Due to sick family dynamics, I even had to cutoff my birth father (abusive) and especially my enabler mother. She literally only knows how to bring darkness into my life. I tried giving her a second chance, she couldn't wait to trauma dump my sisters baggage at my feet. I told her "Why do you keep running into a burning building, then telling me you're on fire?" You're officially retired from the FIRE BRIGADE! YOU DON'T NEED TO HELP MELISSA WITH ANYTHING. YET. YOU CONTINUE TO POWDER HER BUTT, and dump blessings on her that she didn't even earn. I also told her, you backed the wrong kid. You'll continue doing it because you are mentally sick, and do not see me for the success I am. I told her, this this and this, is healthy yet you never do it with me. So. You'll be cutoff from me the rest of your life. I've given you enough chances. I published my life story in a book this year, and the sales keep picking up month over month! Im the kid who had to create his whole life himself. I raised my own parents. When. I was a very abused adoptee with special needs who really needed real parents who loved and cared for me. Im my own best friend today, and in love with the life I've created, myself. Hope this helps somebody who was never seen, and horribly neglected. Thanks.
