Okay so for all of you worthless asshats that would rather just bash on me than wait until I wake up and ask for a little backstory:
First off I said money was tight. I didn't say we were dirt-fucking-poor. I just wasn't expecting money to be spent on holiday luxuries. It caught me by surprise. yes we live in a pretty good house, but we also live in the midwest where housing is dirt cheap. And you all seem to forget how expensive divorces are. This is going to cost my father TENS OF THOUSANDS.
My mother initiated the divorce, emptied my father bank account, stripped the house of furniture, food, clothes, EVERYTHING when she left. Do you have any idea how much it fucking costs to replace the entire interior of a house? My 53 year old father was forced to sleep on an air mattress in a big empty house for a week until he could buy a new bed.
I personally went homeless for several months because my mother threw me out. I was the child she hated. My reddit history can attest to that, although I've only ever been met with the same attitude I recieved here. I was The black sheep, so to speak. So I've grown accustomed to getting nothing. I've grown accustomed to having no luxuries, no fun, no gifts. I reddit to keep myself entertained. I'd play soccer instead if I had a soccer ball.
I saw something unexpected, and because I'd been working so long, I was exhausted so it made me randomly cry. I was made happy by something I didn't expect to happen. It was a phenomenon to me, because life has taught me not to cry like a little bitch up to this point. It accomplishes nothing, and gains you no useful pity. I always thought r/pics was a sub for moving pictures and moments you could consider "phenomena" because they were impactful. Whether because they were an epic picture or because they had a good story behind them.
Obviously I was wrong, because ALL I see here is a circlejerk of professional photographers bitching about the lack of here, and everyone else having a problem with a user sharing a little happiness in hopes of spreading it around.
And as for those of you demanding proof, PM me if it's that important. I'm not posting pictures of my dad's fucking divorce papers and pictures of the empty house out in the open for you all to pitchfork over. That's pretty fucking insensitive. My parents were married 27 years. 27 years of a family, and
I'm only 19. I'm 19 and I sleep an average of 5 hours a day so I can put in 60 hours a week at work because I'm the only one left to help take the burden off my father's shoulders. Yeah he can probably carry it himself. That doesn't mean he should. I work 60 hours, and I make myself as nonexisrent around here as possible so I'm not a burden on my hardworking father.
And what are you doing?
Happy easter you heartless motherfuckers.
