trauma

I'm through making other people happy. Especially my mom and dad.
Now, I'm doing what I feel is right for me, if they don't like it, tough.

and what was their excuse for bartending classes.

"You don't get paid enough, no benefits, you live off tips, and you're going to get killed."

Everything good and bad to them results in me getting killed, arrested, or in an ER.
They have a morbid fear of everything good and bad when I'm the main character in the plot.
