I've cited my husband, who has a genuine rags to riches story, on the Money forum. Maybe OP frequents that forum.

4000 sq foot? Unless it’s in Palisades, that’s lower middle class.

Those kinds of stories make it hard for me to feel proud of anything I’ve done, which isn’t very positive.

I hope you understand that this level of narcissism is abnormal and needs professional expertise. You don't get to censor others because your brain is dysfunctional, OP. That's crazy talk. Contact a psychiatrist ASAP.

Stop comparing yourself to others. Work on yourself and get off DCUM if it makes you feel this way.

If you aren’t proud of how you have lived your life, turn it around. There is still time for you to create your own inspirational life story.

So close. You have doodles. Also your bonus kid loves you more than the evil bio-mom.
