my parents support me but I'm sure they're just hiding their disappointment
must be awful having to raise a weird kid, putting up with all their shit, and then they turn around and say they wanna be an artist and you're just like "yeah okay go ahead" and think of all the time and effort you wasted on them that you're never getting back
"Brilliant, I'd hire you!" good god it's so embarrassing I wish I had a real job but I'm too afraid to try and do anything else, you're lucky you gave up art for other studies first OP

It hurt so much that I can't even really fathom it, but it helped me realize how fucked of a person she is. I gave her a lot of leeway and patience as a son, now I don't give anything.
