mom problems....

Short rant here. Ever since my mom started chemo she no longer worked. She stopped having chemo and which I'm thankful for that 1.5 years ago. She has been cancer free for 1.5 years. That's a long time to not work and do you know how hard it is to support a family of 3 and multiple cats (my dads paycheck) on $1010 every 2 weeks?? It's insane that after bills we have $40 to last another 2 weeks. I have a job. I'm 18. I spend my money on gas for my car and giving it to my parents for bills. I love my wrong don't get me wrong but I shouldn't be spending my college money after I've been told for 16 years that I have a college fund so don't worry about it to find out it never existed. My mom knows she needs to work. I don't think she cares anymore because she knows someone will always help out.......rant over.
