Hey.

I have a long list of problems so anyone who has the time to read all of this “thank you”. Lets start from the beginning. My mom is a raging alcoholic and very ill. She has sorosis of her liver, hepititis C, I.T.P and the worst case of bi-polar that the sych. had seen in 25 years. She has been lving off of the system her whole life and has a master’s degree which she is doind nothing with. My dad is a complete alcoholic and after my parents were divorced over 15 years ago he has grown more addicted to the bottle. They lost everything and it has been a battle between them all of my life. My little brother ahs become a complete pot-head through all of this misfortune and can’t go a day without marijuana. Luckily I escaped the illness in my family and have maintained a level head about all of this. I don’t know how but soon I feel that i may give p like everyone else is. I was living with a boyfriend whom I met when I moved to California 2 years ago. I moved from a middle of no where island corrupted by drugs and ran away from all of the problems and ********. Anyways, after dating him for a year and a 1/2 he turned out to be a very angry person and I couldn’t deal with it anymore. At the same time that was going on y mom sold her house in Washington and moved to California becasue she was so lonely on the island with neither of her children there anymore. We decided to get a place together adn we have been living together for 7 monthes. Her alcoholism has gotten WAY out of control. The ambulance is here evry week and she is constantly talking about her will and that she will die soon. She was living off of social security but I had to take my name off as her payee beacause she was having me cash her checks and then spending it all on boose and I couldn’t be responsible for that. It laid too hard on my guilt. I even went to the liquor store and convinced them not to sell her alcohol anymore. It’s just getting ridiculous now. I don’t make much moner working as an office manager and barely have enough to eat and make my car payment. I can’t afford school and dealing with all of this stuff right now I don’t even know if I could handle the stress. I don’t know where I’m going to live after the first of the month. A

I am so sorry to hear about all of you problems. Hang in there. Take each moment as it comes and tackle each problem one at a time. You will be ok. I promise that one day you will look back at this time in your life, and wonder how you got through it, but you will also realize how strong you are. You will be ok. Remember that you can’t save other people. You can only do what you can and if they don’t want to help themselves it is not your fault. You sound like such a strong and amazing worman. Please make sure you are taking good care of yourself. Are there any stable family members you can turn to for help?
