I found out today that my grandma, who I've lived with since I was 12 weeks old and who is more of a mother to me than my mum, has incurable cancer.
She starts chemo tomorrow, but all it's doing is trying to buy her more time. She has to take 24 tablets every morning, and this is just a light dose.
I can't go to a gig I've been looking forward to and counting down the days to for 8 months because my friend's broken her shoulder and I have noone to go with. That gig was pretty much my 'light at the end of the tunnel'.
I got lemon juice in my eye at school and had to wear an eyepatch.
My grandad also has cancer; today he spent his birthday in hospital having pointless tests. It turned out they were actually looking at the wrong thing.
I'm being yelled at by literally every single one of my teachers because I'm so behind on homework.
I think my parents have forgotten me.
My mum's throwing things and screaming and crying downstairs.
There's more, but I won't bore you.
So yeah, other people are having luck as bad as yours. I didn't even get a holiday because I'm in England and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving.
But yeah. Hope stuff looks up for you soon.
I've been in that situation, it gets a lot better.
Well, not the exact situation but something similar. My sister had a baby, and all during the pregnancy, my mom was all about Valerie, and I basically had to get my own money, rides, food, and clothes. My mom and dad constantly fought, my dad was speading money no one had, and I was basically trying to kill myself every night, hoping it'd be the time that I went to far.
But then my sister had her baby, my dad got a better job, and my mom lightened up. I know it probably doesn't help you much, but everything will change. I thought that I might as well die, but I didn't. If you were supposed to die, a satelite would fall on your house and kill you and the mofos that made you like that.
Seriously, if nothing gets better you can come hide out in my garage.
:D
