I used to be the screw up, well me and my brother were. It was especially shameful and embarrassing for my dad when I became a single mother. The solution? Stop screwing up and start accomplishing shyt that makes you proud and reflects positively on the fam. I did that many times over since having my son and now my dad can’t be prouder.

Let that hate motivate you breh.
Ironically, thats one of the "shames" they have against me but won't admit

That im the only young guy with a kid in my family and also with the stereotypical "baby mama drama" shyt

They look down at that :mjcry:

You sound like a massive fukkup and an embarrassment breh. Get your shyt together, stop drinking, and make some daily goals to improve your life a little bit at a time.
You don’t know it but they probably have to deal with your bullshyt in ways you can’t even see. That’s my advice... I doubt you’ll take it because I don’t believe fukkups can change that easily but hey give it a go

My parents hated me most of my life, all the way until years after I had my son, because I was a fukk up for years, I don’t even want to get into an elaborate explanation of all I did, but my sisters made them proud in all the ways I didn’t. To be honest I didn’t give a fukk either way how they felt once I was out the house, about pleasing. I was always about myself.

but before my mom left this earth she made sure to teach me everything she could so I could grow the fukk up and get my shyt together, because I had a child to think about. And that’s exactly what I did. When I tell you how far I’ve come breh....

And one of the ways I got as far as I have is not giving a fukk what anyone thinks. As a single mom especially... all the people wanting to see me fail, bosses making slick comments, the fact that my son has some special needs, the judgement, the no sleep—breh I had to develop rubber skin, and just let shyt just bounce off. I had to get gumption. And I had to start making things happen because I wanted them. Big things. Positive things.

Set some goals for yourself and start accomplishing all the things you’ve wanted to accomplish but doubted you’d ever be able to, and grow some thick skin... that includes allowing your fam to get to you.

Spite is a POWERFUL motivator
All you gotta do is flip the page over from "they hate me" to "they REALLY gon hate me after I do XXX"

I'll never forget seeing an old aquaintance at a lounge the other day
Dude was fat as fukk and looked rough
Man if his lady wasn't with him I woulda laughed in his fukking face :mjlol: breh thinks I forgot the fukkshyt :ufdup:

in my family its the other way.... im the smartest one and get the least support. the others i wouldnt call "screwups" but they aint better than me and they get the most support and concern :laugh:

its all good tho



I can really relate to this.

Growing up I had some strict ass parents. I was always academically inclined and if I got anything lower than a B that was an automatic ass whooping.

My brother on the other hand never really worked hard at anything and there was no expectation for him to so he was never punished for the same things I was punished for.

Now to this day he has a sense of superiority due to not getting disciplined which he conflates with being a better child. That shyt has left a rift between me and my immediate family to this day.

23. Crazy thing is that I wasn’t even living with them and had already graduated with my bachelors. But growing up my dad hid the fact that my mom was a single mom of my older brother, from us until I was 16. He was ashamed of it. He grew up in a single mom home, and so did my mom. They wanted things to be different for us. I fukked that up.
