My family gives me no respect

I'm accomplished and responsible but they treat me like a loser.

    A Whiff of Whine

    There's something off about this one--there is, surely, more to the story.

    And there's the odd 401(k) reference, the cheatin' hubby (who cares whether he cheated with boys or girls?), the generally mediocre use of language.

    Maybe the LW's family is essentially correct. This is an unreliable narrator who believes she's being persecuted for...success? Certainly the first hubby was no achievement. Completing law school is a questionable achievement. Actually practicing law is morally repellent, with a few exceptions.

    It's all reminiscent of that gratingly wonderful character that Tracy Ullman did years ago--Sidney the lawyer?

    Sid--is this you?
