In all of the years that I have been having to deal with one family member going through something very rough, ******** everything up, my brothers heroin addiction. The past 3 years since being out of High School, I've learned something very important: You can't always get what you want. Not necessarily in the depressive manner, but sometimes things just don't.work.out. It's just not gonna happen. You need to realize that I have worked my a** off while you guys have bossed around our parents for years. Don't I deserve a little happiness for once? Why am I always the one to sacrifice MY happiness, just to please everyone else?
You guys get angry and throw fits, tell mom how terrible of a mother she is, all the time.
ALL the time, if no one believes me.
You guys don't feel remorse when you steal money from your own parents, when they are ******** bankrupt, and barely able to keep this house you guys don't help with.
To earn respect, you have got to BE respectful first. If you want trust? Earn it.
The only reason mom and dad don't mind helping me out here and there is because I have asked NOTHING of them since I moved out the first time.
You don't ask them for stuff. You demand it. And what happens when you don't get what you want?
You thrash and yell and say the most terrible things.
Oh, but when I am upset about something.
Especially when it's you treating my best friends like s**t.
And I am angry, and just want to yell and rage.
You wont have it.
"You're acting ridiculous, Brooke."
Just because I don't get that mad very often [though, more now than ever before]
Doesn't mean you guys are the only one's allowed to throw ******** fits.
I have had to deal with you guys pushing everyone around in this family, except for John, for way too long.
I have Zero respect for you two.
Zero trust.
Because you guys have not earned it.
You continually steal and ignore your own parents' rules and feelings.
You guys shouldn't be labeled 'Adults'. Because for being so old, you guys are act like ******** 2 year olds.
So yeah, I don't feel bad for taking the car from you.
Yeah, you just got a job? Earn your own damn car.
Your legs work, hun. Use them.
It's not the end of the world for ******** gods sake.
You really did this to yourself. You were the one who wasted you 6 grand on everything BUT a car.
I'm gonna be lucky if that little Honda is going to be running in a year.
You had the chance to buy a much better car. That's gonna last.
For your own. But nope. Didn't even cross your mind.
And you two don't even realize that after everything you have put, and continue to put mom and dad through, how LUCKY you are that they let you live here.
Some people who don't even do anything, get kicked out as soon as their 18. Or even sooner.
And yet you still are depending on Mommy and Daddy for everything. They support you, and you guys don't do jack s**t.
So ******** you. ******** both of you.
I have been bossed around by way too many people in my life time.
And I am changing that.
Anyone who can't accept my decisions, or accept me for my mistakes and faults, aren't my friends.
I realize that.
And that is why I love Holly, Jimmy, and Nate.
They are and always have been my best friends.
They actually believe in me. They let me make my mistakes, and help me where they can.
And I love them all so much.
