My mum's an alcoholic, dad's a addicted smoker and my sister well...you could call her a prostitute in training. My friends are FABBBB and I have a crush on my best friend (he's a boy BTW, I'm not lesb)
I cry everyday...I'm nineteen now but I still live with my folks because I have to take care of them. I really wish they put their act together and understand that their kids cant always be there for them...I need a new job...I need a new home...they were selfish when I was a little girl yet I still love them and take care of them. I want my own family now even though I'm probably a little to young to think about it right now. I play pranks and joke around with my friends..they're the ones who kept me going and I owe them ALOT OF MONEY but they say it's Okay I dont have to rush and worry about their money right now when I'm currently unemployed.HOW GREAT CAN THEY GET???
I wish some miracle would happen...help me out here guys

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    We all have hard lives, some more worse than others. I've had a very hard life and it'll probably be like that for years to come. You can't let this get you down. Take your hardships and use them as fuel towards escaping this and having a better future.

    Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Find a social life of your own. There are people that have it WAY harder than you do. If it's SOOO bad, call the cops.

    I don't have a "messed up" life, but I'm sure I'm part of the minority. Very few people nowdays are as lucky as I am.

    I wish you luck for your future, hopefully your kids won't have to be raised like you were.

    If you don't like it, then leave. Take a break from your life, I did.

    ...How exactly is this a "messed up life"? Sounds like a pretty easy life compared to most people nowadays.

        Alcoholic father, leaving me in the care of pedophile uncle. Depressed, anxiety, unstable brother I have to make sure is ok. Having to move to different locations due to mothers ex husband who was a drug dealer trying to find our family and kill us, meaning I had to move to different schools indifferent countries, which then led to me having to move just before I could take my actual exams, and much more.

        If you think you have one of the hardest lives on this site, you are mistaken.

          Perhaps you should post too, asking the question why people think you have no empathy considering what you have been through.

          I'm sure people expect that you would be more understanding and charitable with some good advice.

          Anyhow for the OP. Please be careful that you are not 'enabling' these people to get worse and worse as they know you're there to rescue them.

          You can only do your best but don't sacrifice your whole life for them and make sure you take plenty of time out to stay in contact with your great friends. You can only carry your family for so long.

          I hope it gets better ... maybe your mother will sober up to help with the new baby :o) Let's hope!!

            I might. I don't want to make it seem like I'm sharing my experiences to make people think "poor old ItDuz" etc, because I have moved past everything that has been an obstacle in my life that could be seen as a problem. I'll have to think if I'll do it or not.

          I dont really give a shit about ur life considering the way you r treating my story...I never asked u to be sympathetic...look I'm sorry about ur life and all that but u no even though ur life is worse then mine it's not like you should act like a bitch about it..okay? My sister is now pregnant and I have to worry about her baby now and her health too...plus I'll have to take leave from my job which means no money for 9 months because I have to take care of my sister who's probably got AIDS but wont tell!

      You know you could show a little bit of sympathy. Granted that there are a lot of other people who have it worse but that doesn't make the OP's plight any less tragic.

        I don't feel any sympathy for people on here. Granted, that may be cold, but that's just who I am. I would of thought it would be kind to give honest opinions.

          The truth hurts, but sometimes people need to hear a beautiful lie in order to escape an awful realization. All I'm saying is that you could have told the OP something a lot kinder with a hint of truth. Like, " yes I agree your life does sound awful, but you still have your whole life ahead of you to change it. 10% of life is what happens to you, the rest is your attitude towards it." What Avant-Garde said is a much better example.

            I do see where you're coming from, but I believe abitter truth is more valuable than a beautiful lie. If we know the truth, no matter how bitter, we can progress to change it to a beautiful truth, where as if we disguise it as a beautiful lie, it remains that way, we're just avoiding fixing it.

            I suppose, but I'm more of the bitter truth side of IIN. I apply the same thought proccess to my own life, I'll accept a bitter truth in my own life and treat myself as I have the person here. It's nothing personal, just the way I see things.

              I can understand that. I guess that's a good mentality to have when it comes to overcoming obstacles and life in general.
