Support beam?
Okay, well I know your sick of this, but I need to let it out again.
Right now, at the age of 14, I'm trying to support my family. I'm trying to find a job to keep food in the fridge and the bills paid. I know I know, we have a computer. My parents money is wasted on things not needed such as drugs and cigarettes. My older brother, 31 in two days, and I have to buy my clothing because they can't, due to pot.
I'm also suppose to be the emotional support to my mom for when my dad breaks her down. He yells and threatens us. Well the threats are usually just to me. But he talks to her like a slave, "Go do the F--- what I told you too!". He treats all women like this, like trash. This is his 6th wife. Now we know why, obviously.
I feel at an age where I'm suppose to be worried mainly about boys, make up, and small things like that I'm worrying if the bills are paid,if moms eating, if dad hit her or some one else. I mean thats probably not the most normal thing there is in a world for a 14 year old. I know no ones normal, but I mean like AVERAGE and not just GSB average. I feel like I've been through a lot of things that some adults may not have even been through.
In the last two years I've sat with both my parents numerous times in the hospital for starvation and things like that. Finally I was in the hospital in April. Dad was there 30 minutes as we sat there not knowing if my appendix was possibly going to rupture and possibly kill me, and he leaves to go smoke pot.
Now he doubts that I'm sick. I'm starting to get sick of this. My parents rely on me to sort out their fights and solve the worlds problem.
Well I have something to say:
I'M JUST A KID, and as Simple Plan says, Life is a nightmare.

Really though
You shouldnt be worried about your parents. Parents are supposed to worry about u.
your too young for this, if you keep it up you'll have more problems in the future then you are now , then you'll be taking care of ppl you dont even know. Cause you think its okay and have to worry more. Trust me its not the way to go. I do agree with Slappy J.
sorry to be harsh but yea.

If they treat you like this, just stop helping them.
Do everything for yourself so they can learn to do it on their own.
You need to have your life too, and when you are taking care of people 20 or 30 years older than you, that's honestly pathetic.
You're still a child, you've got stuff to learn. You shouldn't have to worry about getting jobs and paying bills, let alone taking care of your parents.
It's their responsibility to take care of you, not the other way around.
