I'm in a similar situation.
Except that the scungy-scumbags are the family that I have cut out of my life.

Apparently they still moan about how 'lucky' I am, having put myself through my final year of high school and university with no help, and now slogging away at a shitty call centre job (two years last November!). I don't know what their justification is.

Everything they have is subsidised for no good reason and they are total chavs. Spitting out kids and shunning work are their main hobbies. My mother managed to go overseas a couple of years back, and take her new hubby. I haven't had a holiday in....forever.

Grr.
