wow you should google "my mother enables my brother" and it's this vitriolic hate based on sibling rivalry! omg and all this psychobabble enables it.

yes the addict gets the attention and the "good" kids get pissed and i get it.

thank god the kid in my story has no sibs.

one girl is so mad at her mom for enabling her brother, that even though the mom has stage-4 cancer, she won't go near her.

no one says, "you need to deal with why you are so pissed"

as i said, no one really believes an addiction is a disease.

and now i feel like i have to set shit straight
and i don't care if it costs me my job.

i was so broke today ... we're eating ramen noodles
and can't afford soda and i get an unexpected check for 100 bucks.

i feel like this is what i was born for.
and i've been praying to be compelled and now i am.

and i know it looks like i'm setting myself up
to be hurt so bad and that i'll have to cut him loose
but ... i won't go down easy.

he has avoided a criminal record
so he will be able to get back into his career.

and then we'll get lolo set up ... she has improved.
she used to throw shit and lose her mind constantly.

she giggles now. when i couldn't use my hand, she kept the house clean.
even now ... she does the yard. she's an excellent shopped.

one big happy family! there will be struggles.
but we will be together.

and everyone thinks i'm crazy
but i never had anyone who believed in me.

so of course if it goes well, everyone will be pissed
and have to pretend they're happy.

i don't care! i just want to see the kids healthy and happy.
no matter what.
