My moms a drunk. All she cares about is going out and getting fucked up at bars and whatever man she’s with at the moment.

She’s constantly out drinking which leaves me with my 5 year old sister. I can’t get a job, get my license or a car or simply just hang out with friends because someone has to stay home to care for my sister. Yesterday, we got in an argument because instead of taking me to a hiring event she knew about for weeks, (and actually was the one who found out about it and told me I should go) she goes out to drink and purposely ignores my calls and texts. When she did come home she’s screaming and yelling at me basically telling me it’s my fault I missed it. She proceeded to say that she’s been telling me for 6 months to go apply at Safeway (the place that was having the hiring event) for months, which was a lie. Not once has she told me to apply anywhere. And They barely started putting up signs and stuff like a week ago. So then after our fight she calls someone on the phone and literally starts talking shit about me telling whoever she was talking to a bunch of bullshit lies, calling me names and making me seem like I’m the bad person, who treats my mom like shit. I told my older sister what was going on (which btw she stays at her bfs house and rarely comes home due to the way my mom acts) my mom flipped out on both of us, saying fuck you bitches you’re ungrateful and that she don’t need us because we don’t do shit for her and tells us to go live with our deadbeat dad who doesn’t even talk to us btw. She says I don’t do shit for her but I’m the one who cleans the house, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I care for her child EVERY SINGLE DAY. I cook EVERY SINGLE DAY. And i supposedly don’t do shit for her. All this because I wanted to get a fucking job.

Well later on she takes me sister and leaves for a little bit and when she came back, I was in the kitchen and she says “you still mad at me” all rude so I just walked away and then she just starts laughing. I literally stayed in my room all night until she comes in, and tells me “I’m leaving, MY daughter is in the room sleeping” and leaves. So like always I had to go and take care of her kid while she goes out and drinks.

Well this morning before she goes to work she comes into my room and starts banging on the walls all loud and says “wake up I thought you needed a job” then takes the blankets off of me, throws them on the floor and leaves for work.

About an hour after that happened she texts me saying “I hear Safeway is hiring” just to be petty because that was the place that had the hiring event I had to miss because of her.

I’m so over it. I don’t want to put up with this shit anymore. All this because I wanted a job. She expects me to just stay home and take care of her kid and cook and clean while she gets fucked up in trashy bars with her trashy friends. I’m almost 18, I need to live my life.
