[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was all about herself too.  No one understood why we lived "so well" - she spent all of the money on herself - but didn't have anything.

She is still that way and dares to complain about my dead father not leaving her enough.

We were not wealthy, but there is no way we should have lived the way we did (wanting and needing basics) while she lived the way she did (over the top).

I distance myself from friends who take for themselves and put themselves before their children constantly.

I definitely agree it gives you amazing self confidence to be so independent at such an early age.  You really can do anything.  I tend to not respect people who, as adults, still ask their parents for money or help.  I feel there is no excuse for it.

I'm 20:10 from this page and agree with the last part. Maybe because I learned never to rely on my mom, I became very independent and self sufficient. Never have asked my parents for money as an adult and yes, look down on those who do use parents to fund a lifestyle or pay bills for them. I cannot fathom doing that. [/quote]
