Let’s see…
My DUI court fees, bailbonds, and attorney: $2000
All the college courses I dropped or failed: about $2000
Money I took from them under false pretenses to buy drugs and alcohol: who knows?
It seems I owe them about a year’s salary, at the rate I’m making it. I am just starting out in my field, massage therapy; and my own business as well. I’m going back to school this fall to finish my business degree so that I can be a confident and savvy businesswoman. Some mush-mouths might say that’s payment enough for them, getting myself onto my own two feet, albeit “FINALLY!!!!” But I say no, they deserve more, much more, and so do I. What do I want? I want my parents respect. I fear I will never get it and always be insecure, needy, wanting approval. How do I start to pay them back? I pray for strength and guidance…
