I seriously have a boiling hatred for computers now because I couldn’t even be a little bit mean. I’ve snapped a few times when people blamed me for problems years after I worked on their stuff, but mostly I just got trampled on and robbed at every turn because I didn’t want to upset anyone.

By the time I was mean enough to demand payment and things like that, I already hated it.

My daughter is passionate about computers, so nowadays if I so much as want to tweak something a little bit I let her do it unless she don’t want to. I don’t want to burn her out too.

That sucks my dude, it sounds like some really shitty people ruined something you liked. So far I've found that the only way to protect yourself against that stuff is to set healthy boundaries. It doesn't have to be rude, but unfortunately some people see it that way. It's a rough time.
