So my mother went out of town to california with her boyfriend and left me and my 11 year old brother here for about a week. I work 5 days out of the week sometimes all day 10am to 9pm and sometimes 2pm to 9pm or 10am to 4pm. that being the case i can never be home with my brother to watch over him. And a few days i left to go to work on sat. afternoon and i am almost there when i get a call from him, he tells me him and his 2 friends just got held up with a gun and 3 kids stole his friends bike. I wasen't really that worried because he told me that he called the cops right after that happened and are waiting for them to come in our house. I decided to call my mom who said she would be going hiking - since being in california she decides to hike - so no cell reception. I call her numerous time only to get nothing, so i call her boyfriends number but nothing. I decided to call my aunt and tell her what happened she gets upset and after we hang up she calls my grandma, who calls me crying, worried about my brother. I begun to just feel bad about telling my aunt, who calls me a few minutes later to tell me she needs my dads cell phone number because my grandma wants to call him and tell him to pick up his son and take him to is house to stay for a while. i give her the number and i go and sit in the back room of work and just think about what is going on. My mom has yet to call back, I've called, texted, sent emails but i've received nothing. 4 hours later she finally calls and she gets pissed at me over nothing, i tell her that my dad should take my borther from her because she isnt' even home anymore and when she is she is off in her own world with her boyfriend not even paying attention to anyone but him. she hangs up on me and i just call her a "bitch" after that. Im pissed and i call my grandma and tell her my mom finally called and she tells me not to worry about it because im not the mom she is and it's not my responsibility to take care of my brother and my mom just needs to get her "shit together". My mom calls me back and tells me my brother is staying with my dad till weds. - the day she gets back - that doesn't bother me, maybe it should have been that way when she left instead of me taking care of him. I begin to feel like everything is falling apart and it's just getting worse since my parents divorced. I don't even like to talking to my mom anymore, not even for a minute to tell her about my day. I use to talk to her all the time and now i would rather not even be the same room with her. it's getting to point where i don't even want to come home at the end of the day because i know ill be coming home to nothing and if im going to do that id rather have my own place to come home to instead of taking care of problems that aren't mine to take care of. i don't go to school right now i just work full-time and im just trying to find my way and my mom is helping me with the process, she was very helpful when we found out i have depression but now, she doesn't even consider what she is doing is effecting me or my family. I don't know what to do....
i watch and i learn...damn rachel ray!
