I was just at Meijer , and they were reg price , you ' re lucky ! <| sep |> My parents also did this to me . I moved out when I was 17 . The years have passed , and I have to say that i ' m in a better financial situation than I ever imagined . My parents spent all of their retirement money on several senior missions . They are living with their most undependable liar , thief and con child . They ' ve put him in charge or their estate . They no longer have anything . They live in their own basement , and they ' re lucky they have that . I only know this through gossip that has come to me through the grape vine . I haven ' t seen these people for about 30 years . They have 5 other kids that also want nothing to do with them . They made life a living hell for all of their children . I feel like these people are total strangers to me , and I owe them nothing . They didn ' t hesitate to turn me out and let me live on the streets for all they knew . They only thing they ever gave to me after I left home , was an onion . My kids wouldn ' t know them if they were in the same room with them . There was no excuse for that . My kids never did anything to those people . They will die soon . They ' re both in their 90 ' s and i ' ve heard , not that healthy . Funny how people think it ' s their mission to keep me posted about these people I don ' t even know , or want anything to do with . Whatever . I decided years ago they were dead . I went to the beach on the ocean and held a funeral for the parents I never had . I wrote down everything that i ' d been deprived of by not having parents . I put it all in a little wooden boat . I soaked it with lighter fluid , lit it , and set them afloat out to the ocean . Their now little pieces of ash afloat on the sea . That ' s all they are , and have been to me for many decades . If I could legally divorce my parents , I would .
