I am SOOOOOOOOO tempted to ask my dad who did better, me with you or Replacement Goldfish with her Trumpista husband. I won't. But I'm tempted.
Your dad would reply that RG (1) married within her race (2) married someone who's a Christian and (3) married. So yeah, by his standards, she did do better.
But fuck that noise. Are you REALLY going to value the opinion of a man who said "I didn't get the kid I ordered so I'm going to adopt one I like"? Someone like that is beneath your notice, and you know it.
Your parents did not appreciate the kid you were, and do not appreciate the wonderful adult you've become. If they don't see it, there are plenty of people around you in your present life who do. Your parents can die mad about it.
