      Did they ever tell you about the Satanic rituals performed? Many family members of the illuminati get multiple personalities from trauma and do not remember the rituals, so I would not be surprised they never mentioned them.

      That is right, their name is important. The Chivalric knights of old won land from the crown if they proved their worth in battle. The landed gentry defend their honor and the reputation of their name.

    How sad, her father did not try to uphold a livable existence for his children. It does not matter if he grew up with wealth - you need to pull yourself together l, do the work and take care of your family and children. Speaking from experience.

    if she has gotten a proper job, she won't have been compelled to return to the squalor that haunted her childhood. there is only a limited time where you can attribute blame to your parents for your deprived life.

If you were walking down the street near one of these evil men, if there was a dollar on the ground, they’d fight you to pick it up, not because they need it, but because they don’t want you to have it!

    She sounds more like an "Oh Pity Me" case. She's a grown woman with a supposed intelligent mind. SUCK IT UP! MOVE ON! If your family is ruining your life, get away from them and make your own path in life...without them. Quit whining! If you are different than they are, then quit using them as an excuse to do nothing.
