Things have been rough since a few years ago in my house and I've kinda fallen behind to the point my parents told me they purposefully ignore many of my problems to focus on other things. I understand that, I really do. And I can take care of myself well, I'm almost 20. I just wish things were better so we could talk more without feeling like they always interrupt me because they don't have time for me. Tomorrow is my birthday and they sat with me and told me we couldn't do anything because there wasn't money. I understand. I really do. I just wish things were different but at the same time I wish I didn't felt hurt because I feel like a spoiled bratt.
