How you are and who you are can relate to how you were raised.  Family can also be a burden as well which is what Danielle had said.  I don’t fully blame her because my parents were kind of financial screw ups, but what I do have to say is that you are sure calling the kettle black.  Yes, my parents were screwed up financially.  I remember your parents wanting me to sign a pre-nuptial agreement because my parents were so screwed up financially and they were worried that you were going to be drawn into my parent’s debt.  You never were.  Other issues that my family had/have were that my sister Dominique was called Dramanique for a good reason and my other siblings are people too so they have their flaws.  But again, you are the pot and you’re calling that kettle black.  Now, I didn’t really say any of this at the time, but this is my fucking book and I can write what I want.  Here goes.  Your family was fucked up too!  You had a mom and a dad who were both married three times.  Your mom is a slut who should have a name that rhymes with Drama as well.  You and your siblings annoy me because you bemoan how your lives were thrown in upheaval with the divorce and such, but financially you had lives that 99.9% of people would have wanted.  That I would have wanted. Your half-brother and half -sister complain about how hard their lives were, but look in a mirror.  Your lives are not that bad.  Seriously.  I’m tired of hearing them complain.  Wah Wah.  Poor you.  Not a lot of sympathy.  This is what you had to deal with.  In my 20s, I had to take care of my family financially.  I never had my 20s and you and your siblings were all able to travel to Europe.  Again.  Wah Wah. Enough sympathy.  Your siblings are whiners!
