Yes, I feel that my current day affairs are very much affected by this.
For instance, if I need a hand sorting moving/removing/painting stuff around the flat to make room for The Third Degree when Mrs Degree drops in late August, my parents and brother/sister will help out where they can and be generally supportive.
How am I suppose to moan and try and get sympathy from anyone who will listen when I make mistakes that are entirely my own if I can't blame my family? Anyone would think the things I do wrong might by my fault or something?! Clearly ridiculous.
I have tried talking to Eliza about this, but she just doesn't seem to understand me.
