i recently got to spend the afternoon with my mother, who cant afford to have me living in the house with them, so iv spent the last three years wondering every other day, nd every winter if im gonna have a place to stay for an extended period of time. it was the closest thing to heaven i can imagine, we've had misfortune, fights, pain and anger. but im on my own, i cant afford to go to the clinic for any medical help. i cant afford tampons when i need them, and its cold when your lonely. i cant leave this area, cuz i have fines, and school to finish, i dont want to leave the area where my family is, its bad enough that i wasnt around too much when my nephew was born, now my biggest worry that make it hard to breath evenly at night so i dont wake the rest of the house with my sobs, is that i dont have a steady home. i urge people to at least give your parents a little bit of understanding. they dont understand you, n most likly wont till your both older, but my mother and i would get into fist fights, but my recent visit with her has made life seem a little bit brighter, as sad as the meeting was, im still uplifted. i was walking clear acroos town from enrolling in a school on the very outskirts of town, and i saw her van pull into a store ahead of me. i followed her inside and cased the entire store to find her, and as soon as i gave her a hug, i was crying!! we went to mcd's then i hung out with her n my nephew justin at her house in the country, talking. we went back into town to family video, and she took me to drop me oof at a friends house, justin started to litterally bawl, my three year old nephew was begging me to stay there and come home with them. i was touched beyond words, and as my mother started to cry, i broke down. i dont know whether to be ok, or be worse.
