    That is right, their name is important. The Chivalric knights of old won land from the crown if they proved their worth in battle. The landed gentry defend their honor and the reputation of their name.

    Did they ever tell you about the Satanic rituals performed? Many family members of the illuminati get multiple personalities from trauma and do not remember the rituals, so I would not be surprised they never mentioned them.

    She sounds more like an "Oh Pity Me" case. She's a grown woman with a supposed intelligent mind. SUCK IT UP! MOVE ON! If your family is ruining your life, get away from them and make your own path in life...without them. Quit whining! If you are different than they are, then quit using them as an excuse to do nothing.
