So what do you do when you live in a house with your brother, mother, and mother’s husband?
Note that he’s referred to as your mother’s husband because he pretty much is a stranger living under the same roof. He does not say a word to you, let alone support anybody in the house. Unemployed, lazy, and stupid…all of the above. When you get home from school, his ass was locked in the room all day watching TV or playing games. The kitchen is a mess, dishes aren’t cleaned, and the trash bag is overflowing. All of the above. When your mom gets home from a 12 hour shift at work almost EVERYDAY, he insists on taking her money to go out and buy beer or cigarettes. Tell me, why does she stay?
Isn’t it great that the economy offers such a thing as “unemployment compensation”? Isn’t it? Without that, your mother’s husband would be screwed all the way down to his bones. He’s lucky that the little check that comes in every month helps him keep his place in that room. LUCKY.
So what do you do when you have a lazy sibling in the house? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you love him and I’m sure you two get along. But siblings fight, and sometimes certain adjustments in your lifestyles can cause conflict. Not only is he lazy though, he’s rude…he’s disrespectful…he’s selfish. It’s just so unfortunate that now he has a girlfriend in his life that he won’t fulfill his duties as a son and brother.
What do you do when the energy at home is so negative, all you want to do is leave? Don’t get me wrong, I know you love your mother but sometimes things just get too overwhelming don’t you think? I know you don’t want to leave because you want to be your mother’s protection. What happens when you’re gone and something happens? It’s your job to stay and be there for her. Right?
What do you do when your REAL father is about to lose his job, with less than 2 weeks left to work? Yeah, the union is only doing so much which I’m sure you are disappointed about. What do you do when you just want to assure him that things are going to be okay when you’re not sure if they are?
What do you do when you hear your family members doubt you?
I wish I could give you the answers, but I really don’t myself. In fact, that’s why I’m asking you in the first place.
Can someone please tell me? What do I do?
