Hey, lets face it....There is a reason that she is the "EX". For me the reason was that she was a liar a cheat and a thief. Hmmm, can you get any worse?
I suppose if you add in the fact that she is self-centered and hasnt matured past the ripe age on 17. I mean come one, grow up. If you find the need to make a spectacle of a serious conversation to everyone around you just to feel like your the grownup, you my friend are an epic fail.
Sometimes as the sane, mature one, you have to step back and realize that they are fighting against the unstoppable hands of a ticking clock and it makes them angry. Angry with you for hopefully moving on and having a vision for a future, and also angry with herself for relying on the ever dwindling free money train (FMT). Face it little lady. One spring day you will have to wake up. Like the rest of us, get dressed and go to a job. Yup.. a REAL job, which expects you to follow directions, do what your told and report on time when you are scheduled to be there. A good portion of your money will go to pay your own health insurance and to pay taxes. Oh...i'm sorry, you actually are supposed to pay taxes on money that you get, not just get free money and refunds on the non-existant taxes that you have paid. You will go to the mailbox and open up the bills from the utilities, car, electricity and water. These people will expect you to pay them with what you have left over after the insurance and taxes are taken out. You will go to the grocery store and the gas station and be expected to somehow find the money with what's left after the bills to put gas in your car and food on the table.
So you see. this is not so easy when you have to earn money for yourself. This my little friend will be hard for you to swallow, yes it will be for the first time in your life, hard. You'll probably have to work a nasty, unpleasant overnight shift as well as another parttime job. I feel sorry for you, but that very same instant will be the one in which I begin my life. You see, these 18 years I have learned what work is. What it really takes to sacrifice. I have expanded my skills, obtained a college education and life experience, which you are just now going to learn. I have learned to make due with what I had left, and plan on enjoying so much more happiness not having to struggle so much in these years to come.
You see, you have had your opportunity. The opportunity to rise to maturity, to work with me and to really excel. Instead you have chosen to rely on someone else, squander opportunity and snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. For you, I am truly sorry. I have tried everything I could to work with you, but you have thought only about yourself.
Lesson:
"There are no do-overs in life, set grudges and disagreements aside and take opportunies where they are."
