Here is goes...
I am trying to start a business. Reasons being, I had a friend who took me for all that I am worth and more and left me in the bottom of the barrel with no money and a huge debt on my shoulders. Going to school has made that debt bigger than I could ever imagine.
My parents have been a huge help with schooling and living that I have been able to get by. My father has given me a job that I can come back to anytime I am in town.
I have been trying effortlessly to make extra money anyway that I can so that I can one day become debt free. So I decided to start a small business. I thought is was a great idea until today when my sister-in-law comes at me with stealing her design. I had no idea it was her design. She had bought it from another lady so I thought that the lady sold them all like that. This is a craft. ANYONE can do it. So why pin the blame and theft on me?
So now I sit, bawling my eyes out because I am a cheat and a thief. Ben has my other stuff and the won't answer my calls, I'm in Canada hoping to have a great time, see my nephew and brother and sister-in-law, and now I feel like curling up in my room and never talking to anyone again.
I can't trust anyone! I have my guard up. I won't say a word anymore. Life as it is in my eyes right now is over!
Why are people so cruel? And why is it that I know them all and they treat me like S H I T!! What have I ever done to you to make you treat me this way. If anything I have been friendly and nice and looked past your faults. But no... I'm the horrible one here. That's right, throw every thing that has gone wrong my way and blame it all on me. GO ON!!! I can take it. I've taken it this long, what's another 50 years of this crap?
If I start acting quiet and uninterested around you... Don't be offended. I just have nothing to say!
I'm so sorry that your trip home is not as pleasant as you were hoping. However much your sister-in-law thinks you stole from her, she has no legal right to make any claims against you. You are absolutely right in that it is a craft. You simply saw an opportunity to capitalize, and that is how capitalism works. If she were smarter maybe she would have jumped on the chance. You aren't looking at going global or even take over the US and Canada with this product, so what is she going to do? They're empty threats, and she's jealous that you're brilliant. I hope you get to feeling better, because you don't deserve to be talked to like that, and I don't think you're a horrible person at all for doing something that you enjoy and making a profit on it. I hope it takes off and you get that million a year.
