You're right there. Why is it wrong to be who you are? I don't want kids, so what? Either it's jealousy, peer pressure (which I'm immune to) or something else.

They have children for the benefits and then abandon them once they've served their purpose. I could never be so heartless as that

There are a lot of arrogant controlling presumptuous members in society

Saying "I don't want kids" seems to equal to committing 'Social Suicide' for some bizarre reason, people think you're mental.

Indeed, I don't want kids. Once they learnt about that, everything changed. Now I'm to be ignored and hated for it. Why? My life. My choice. Can't understand some people.

Your old school friends sound like a lot of people I know

One aspect about people that pisses me off is that they always impose their lifestyle, their choices, onto others. That's not how standards/conditions of worth should work. If I'm hardworking but don't want to get married for example, why should they look down on me?

Old school friends kept ignoring me because of jealousy. I work, I fly and I have a lot of freedom with no commitments. My life ain't perfect but still, they hate me for it. They choose kids, I choose freedom. Don't know why they decide to take it out on me for?

Those members I don't hate, just avoid for my sake.

Jealously. They aspire to beat me in everyway. They hate me having anything. Being me. Being taller, or poorer or richer, you name it. I don't even know -why- they're jealous of me to start with.

Why would they harm you?

There are a few family members I avoid irrespective of how rich they are, and that's simply because they mean to harm me.

What's a few family members to them, when they could have millions of acquaintances? That's their way of thinking. Many simply hate their family

You could have wealth but without family, wealth is all you got. Lose that and it's game over. At least if I lose money, my family is still there to stand by me and help. Some things are far more valuable than money. Many forget this.

I meant, come by

Exactly. Family can be a pain in the arse sometimes, but they're all we really have at the end of the day, real friends are hard to find by

My family is pretty large, now she's cut herself from it, she only has her hubby and her kids. Seems like she lost more than she gained.

Of course Ace, there is the other extreme where you don't care about money at all and lose it very quickly.

Sadly it sounds like your aunt like many people doesn't appreciate your health is more important than your wealth, cutting all ties to her family can't be good for her

You should watch Mel Brook's "Life Stinks" to see my point. Awesomely funny movie.
