temp_clipped_wings Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hey everyone, feeling a little down tonight more so tonight that usual. On Friday my father was mildly attacked by a mad man in the lot of a shopping centre. He was able to fight off the guy and got no injuries. Thank God. This morning my mother ran over my ****zu puppy crushing one leg, breaking the other, breaking some bones in his back and giving him internal bleeding. I found her response about it to be very "I dont care, ill pay for it." I was very upset and my father sought to defend her saying accidents do happen. Im 22 years old and I graduated from college in 2008, I started officially getting a pay cheque in 2009. Before working though I always worked as I continue to do with 2 part time jobs and various side businesses. My father is in a pretty bad place financially (partly due to his own personality) and my mother and I are the only ones working. My sister started college last September and has now found a part time job as well. Now when I was going to college my parents were well off financially but they still forced me to take financial aid, refused to buy me a car saying they couldnt afford it etc. My tuition at the time was $1700 per academic year due to aid etc that I received and they still wanted me to find aid so that they didnt have to pay anything. Ok fast forward to the present where things are much tougher they are (mostly my mother) forking out $10000+ per annum on my sister's law college fees, buying her clothes and laptop etc. I worked for my clothes, laptop etc and no one helped me. In the section of the house that I live in its in disrepair and ive been asking my father for some new pipes but no. My sister though has a completely crystal bathroom where even the face basin in crystal. Now fast forward to tonight im in my bed trying to sleep because I have to get up at 6:45 am for work tomorrow and my sister comes into my room saying my father has disappeared. We search and search with me even going on the roof and no sign of my father. My mother then finds him on the floor laying down in a closet to the side of the house to the back. Upon hearing this my sister immediately starts crying saying she cant take this anymore. While I go back to my room, I then go back to the closet and call his name but he doesnt answer me. I ask my mother what happened and she said she and him had an argument and he locked himself in there. Sometimes the whole situation is too much for me to bear. Im 22 and im struggling right now to buy a car im just $8000 short but my mother is claiming she can only lend me $6000. Even though I can pay back $1000+ per month. Im single and still a virgin, I have no friends and one of my businesses is tanking. Sometimes I have to ask how much more can one person take. Any advice guys. Link to post Share on other sites
