I mean, it's a bit tough for me to see it that way. Having wealthy parents who can use the leg up they intend to give you in life as a way of manipulating you into doing and being what they want, and that's gotta suck.
At the same time, you can cut ties with them and you end up in the same position a lot of us start in: having to do it on your own. You've got a choice that other people don't, it's difficult for me to see that as a disadvantage.
yea, the starting place sucks in this country and adding cognitive dissonance to whether or not to obey my shitty parents is not something I wanna have to worry about on top of the bog standard issues about healthcare and school loans.
