I feel like I’ve never gotten the chance to be young/a teenager. I couldn’t stay with mom & dad till I felt like leaving because my dad isn’t in my life and my mom is a prison junky meaning she can’t keep herself out of prison. Me and my sibling and all spread out my sister lives with her friend giving her mom $50 every week just to live there while trying to get a car my littlest brother lives in Indianapolis other sister lives in Columbus Ohio my second little brother lives with his dad and my oldest lives in his boyfriends moms basement. And I live in my own house but I was couch hopping as well just I actually had a home with some really great people who let me live with them till I turned 18. When. I turned 16 I got a job 3 months later I got my drivers license 1 month later I’ve had two job since then and I work full time while still going to school. When I turned 18 I started to fill out apartments Applications three months ahead when they turn 18 October 8 I got a house in November I am now living on my own. My mom got out of prison in November and she lives with a drug dealer. She started to talk to me more and more I was wondering why then she asked me if it was okay if my little brother could come over than coming over turned into an everyday thing and then my older brother asked if him and his boyfriend could come stay till they got a house than my sister asked if she could come stay so she could save money than my mom asked if she could come stay because she hates the person she lives with but she brought along this guy she met not even 2 months ago not to mention I live in a two bedroom condo. Sometimes I don’t understand why it’s so hard to get their lives together if they’d stay out of prison or if my sister stop blowing her money on weed and my brother stoped spending all his money on alcohol things would be so much better but I guess I gotta grow up and get over it right?
