You ARE a miserable failure, Karen. You failed at
career, you failed at family, you fail at politics.
Your life is marked by crushing failure every step of
the way. What you are now calling your "success" and
"happiness" are purely rationalizations of your
failure. You are calling relative poverty and scut
work "success" only because you FAILED at establishing
any kind of career.
You are the very picture of a marginal. I think it's
remarkable you didn't end up a bag woman. I suppose
that's what comes from the fact YOUR parents had a
sense of duty, unlike the self absorbed degenerate they
spawned.
