But yet she can't say effing thank you? Just because we don't take advantage of her and we support her she doesn't think we deserve to benefit from her win? Even though she never heard of the contest until she won and I am the sole reason she won? The people who treat her like dogsh-t all the time and literally only make an appearance at christmas or when their birthday comes rolling around to get their birthday card full of cash are the ones who she thinks are hurting. They literally go into her scarcely stalked kitchen and ask for her food and ask for things on her shelves while the woman eats cereal for supper, and when I try and offer her better food she just gives it to them (meanwhile these moochers eat mcdonalds every night).
I am so disgusted with this. The prize is worth 4 times what her debt is yet she told me she only hopes to be able to pay off her debt. Which practically screams she plans on using 3 times her debt on funding the leeches who abuse her.
It is not even so much that I think I deserve a chunk of the winnings - I love my grandmother to death and she means the world to me - but I feel like all she ever does is regift the things I give to her and give them to everyone else. And it makes me feel like she doesn't think I am as important.
She even wants to buy things from my stock pile with this money so that she can do up baskets for these people, yet isn't doing anything for my parents, one of which is her child. I don't think I have ever felt so frustrated and unappreciated in my whole entire goddamn life.
