I resent the fact that my family comes from a humble background

Both my parents grew up really poor. My mother was born poor, and it wasn’t until she got a job that she was able to improve her financial situation. My dad had some money, but had to leave his native country due to war, and his family lost all their money.

Ever since I was little, I could never truly feel things like sadness and depression. My parents would call me ungrateful. They would say that they had way worse things to worry about when they were kids. Therefore, I don’t have a right to be angry or sad ever.

My car stopped working, and my dad is going to loan me $1000. My mom told me to start picking up more shifts and my fast food job, and to stop being lazy. The thing is, my mom has this bad habit of like being kind of verbally abusive when she’s upset over something. Honestly, when I have kids, I’ll distance myself from my humble origins.

It’s not that I want my kids to be entitled little pricks, but I’m not gonna be negating of their feelings like how my parents were.
