Oh boo-fucking-hoo. A rich person had a shitty father.
Do you see him doing anything to help abused kids? Donating to, or helping improve orphanages? Helping organizations who help single moms or abused/molested kids? He paying any legal fees to help abused women/kids?
Do you see him doing ANYTHING to strengthen domestic abuse and child sexual abuse laws and make consequences for abusers and pedos more severe/permanent?
All that wealth and influence and he ain't helping with any of that, but we're supposed to pity him.
WARNING: My rant may be triggering to abuse survivors.
Fuck him and his cushy life and his rich family, From all of us who had to raise ourselves, in abject poverty, in dangerous and terrifying situations. Many of us had literally nothing and no one to help us; restraining orders didn't exist and everyone pretended domestic violence and molesting kids never happened, and whatever was being done to children was not their problem or business.
I have zero sympathy for weak whiny rich bitches. Every single one of us who had severely abusive childhoods; who had multiple abusive family members, who barely survived constant beatings and whippings; who lived with starvation and hypothermia, never saw any doctors; those of us who had to lie about our ages so we could start working full time at 14 to support and raise our younger siblings - None of our moms got child support or alimony. And at least half of those 'moms' were so abusive that they should be rotting in a jail cell or shot in the face.
Many of us abuse survivors grew up with no electricity, no indoor plumbing, no heat or ac. We woke up with ice inside the windows and frost on our blankets. A bread and butter sammich was a treat. There was no McDonald's or store food. There was no Christmas, birthdays, Easter or holidays. There was work: cleaning, cooking, laundry, picking vegs, weeding, shoveling snow, cutting/chopping/hauling wood, raising younger siblings, caring for livestock, hunting, trapping, fishing - then killing and preserving that food, fixing what broke, mending what ripped or wore out, trying to McGuyver a bunch of old junk or whatever we scavenged in the woods to get by.
We worked our whole lives to stay alive. We didnt have "chores" we did what had to be done and we did it scared, hurting, miserable, alone. No one taugh us a damn thing, we had to figure it out on our own. We were grateful and thanking God if the roof didn't leak, we could eat more than 5 meals a week, had more than one set of clothes (always hand me downs), any shoes or toys, and got to live through a day without being beaten within an inch of our lives by adults who were alcoholics, junkies, narcissists, sadists, or worse.
Bullied? Try going to school in the same clothes every single day that you have to wash and hang every night; with a bad haircut, shoes stuffed with paper or rags to cover the holes/tears, with no lunch or lunch money. Ever.
ZERO SYMPATHY for Elon Musk not having a perfect father.
You know who has my respect? The ones who grew up truly abused, dirt poor, without rich parents, or without any parents or even a single adult who would help or care - those who Survived and don't use it for attention or sympathy whoring, or social media likes; those who don't use it as an excuse to be an asshole.
