I'll start by confessing I definitely wasn't always a Heartless Bitch. I got off to a bad start: broken family, abusive drunks for parents, bad relationships, rape, kicked out on the streets at age 17...same sob story as so many others. This is the point where some people stab themselves in the heart with the red flag of victimhood, and give up on trying to improve their lives. They delude themselves into believing their suffering is noble. Those people are lazy.
Being kicked out was the best thing that ever happened to me. I got away from the disgusting family tradition of attending college with the express purpose of finding a doctor or lawyer to marry, so I could stay home and churn out babies and casseroles until I dried up and shrivelled away, lost in my husband's shadow (I am still the only female in my family who actually holds a job).
I'm proud of my traumatic experiences, because they have toughened me up. They showed me that I am the only person who can truly make me happy. Being homeless was when my life really started. I found clean business attire at a thrift store, got myself a job as a secretary, and rented an apartment with my first paycheck. Now, 10 years later, I manage of a team of 7, I own a house and a car, two dogs and two cats.
I married a great guy who was raised by a strong HB. He doesn't fear cooking or cleaning, is proud that I make more money than him, praises my successes, and gives me a wakeup call when I act like a jerk. Best of all, he understands that if he wants a baby, he's going to have to grow his own womb. In short, he's a partner, not a patriarch. He leaves the toilet seat up sometimes, but I also have the presence of mind to check before I sit, so that's never been a reason to fight around our house.
I have a great education in manipulative behaviour, and I get no small amount of satisfaction from taking those people down a few pegs. I don't claim to be a perfect HB, but I think I've come along nicely, and I will continue to grow. I love this site, and all the rants, and I would be proud to be an HB 'en titre' along with the rest of you. Thanks for your consideration.
