Nearly 20 years ago I used to ask my friends for their Jane Norman carry bags for my PE kit because I couldn't afford to buy anything from that shop (it was the in thing to use them for school back then
) i didn't want to feel left out. But hey, I laugh about it now, not cry about it. I understand now how much my parents struggled,I even understand why they divorced. My mum left us with my dad but guess what, I don't
dislike her for it!!! Yeah I feel guilty when I can't get my son the £100 trainers he wants right that second, but I explain to him that he either saves up or waits and let's me save, he will get them eventually.
Iv never seen someone so materialistic as R. Literally her whole life revolves around money, paying her friends to stick around, reminding her husband that she pays all the bills, justifying her purchases with her childhood 'trauma', selling everyone else's trauma to line her pockets, buying her kids love and loyalty, friends that aren't in her circle are business owners that have done deals with her. Its a pretty sad life. What's she going to do if she ever falls on hard times? It can happen to anyone at anytime (covid proved that for the rest of us) nothing is secure these days and definitely not a social media page that you rely on for everything. Take a look at Facebook, that was once the top rated social media site and its slowly dying off with popularity and the same will happen with Instagram eventually.
Oh and everyone saying the pay pal money is long gone, it isn't! She still has people unknowingly and knowingly paying into it! She just doesn't accept new donations!
