Should I be upset wrote:
My mom is mormon; no one else in the family is. She has a job, but she makes less than $30k/year. My dad does quite well though and would give my mom money to take care bills, buy food, take care of kids' needs etc (my dad works WAY more than my mom, so he didn't really have time for it). Anyway, my dad was looking through the finance records through a few recent years and found out my mom was giving over $6000/year to the mormon church, which is a substantial amount of money for our family. As I said, only my mom is mormon, and no one else in the family wants to suppor the church, so we kind of see this as stealing from the family. Now my parents are recently divorced (for matters unrelated to this), and my mom constantly bitches to me that she doesn't have money and that she can't do anything because she's so poor, wah wah wah feel sorry for. It's quite annoying to me because she never helped me financially with anything, and I'm supporting myself through college and make a lot less than she does. It's kind of worn on me and I think I'm about ready to just go off on her. I'm wondering if I am in the right for feeling betrayed by her and for having ill feelings over her putting the church as a MUCH higher priority financially than her own family, especially considering at least two of her children could have used any help possible.
Thoughts?
Yes, you are a self centered ungrateful brat.
Please don't shoot kids because you are upset and have no empathy.
