I hear a lot of people say (about aboriginal people), "get over it" with regards to the residential schools. I wonder how many of those would have the balls to walk up to a Jew and say the same thing about the holocaust.
I would, because few Jews that I would meet today were personally involved in the holocaust.
Reminds me of my mother's reaction, reading 'Angelas Ashes': "Oh, great, a useless alcoholic abusive Irish father. Been there, done that, don't need to read about it'.
Anything that happened to your parents is not your problem. And at some point, you need to take responsibility for yourself. If you were in a residential school, that does not mean you can neglect home maintenance, and expect someone else to do it for you. We all have dysfunctional families, but we survive and carry on.
Yeah, it's tough medicine. Fukin get over it, man, stop being a victim, and take charge of your life.
Boo fukin hoo, let's get drunk and whine about how hard life is, that's what I did when I was a teenager, got drunk and whined. Where did it get me? No fukin where.
