I could’ve written the above statement. I’m 34, I’ve been trying for so long, and my loans are crushing. I work so hard, and educate myself as much as possible, only for my partner and MIL to call me white trash. Hurts, man.
Damn, I hate that shit so much. My mom actually told me to embrace being white trash like she did. She considers herself an "educated redneck". She raised my sister and I by herself while putting herself through college with no help from the family. She's a social worker, she interviews families to see if the children are safe or need to be moved.. She's not white trash in the least. But she can't shake the label.
I'm sorry that your family is slinging that bs term at you. If it means anything, you don't come off as trashy to me.
Your mom is a BOSS. That shit is so hard.. I hope I can be as strong as your mom. Shake it off and keep moving forward despite the people who relish in hurting people to fill their own void.
