My father threw a BBQ to celebrate kicking me out. I pulled up to grab my last box and saw a huge banner over the garage: “Goodbye freeloader – don’t come back!”. My uncle was wasted screaming from the patio: “30 years old and no career! Your poor mother had to feed your lazy ass for years!”. My sister threw a hot dog at my car: “There’s your last free meal, loser!”. Even the kids were laughing and pointing. I didn’t react. Grabbed my box. Walked back to my car. Took a photo of that banner with everyone partying underneath. Two weeks later, Sister: “Talk now”. Uncle: “Sweetie I was drunk I didn’t mean any of it.” Dad: “Call me back. Please. I’m begging you”.
