To whom this may concern;

Hello people i have yet to post “my story” on here but i am not getting much reply just asking questions, this is also the first time i am not anonymos on this site so i hope every thing turns out ok, so i guess here it goes.
I am not looking for answers just someone to talk to, i do have many questions though but nobody may be able to answer them.

I am 15 year old female who lives in Spokane and need someone to talk to before she goes crazy and am i willing to listen while others talk.

Moms house
her boy friend became a huge alcoholic 2 years ago and i have seen alot. I have been there when he threatens o beat her up and throws all of her things out of her room. I have been there for the holes in the walls, and the slamming of the doors. I have given my little brother money to go get candy from the gas station to try to shield him from the chaos. I have talked my mom into picking Jack- her boyfriend up when he was wondering the streets at night. Dont get me wrong though i love jack to death i dont want anything bad to happen to him. This is the man i wanted to marry my mom- but what happened to him? My mom doesnt love him any more either, i want him to go away. and i fell so horrible saying that to anyone. Jack had a son ryan he was the sweetest boy but always got in trouble. One day Jack was so drunk and so angery that he went out and bought some boxing gloves and beat the **** out of ryan. Ryan though did not even try to hit his dad but the one thing he did do was smile, that day ryan left to go back to his moms who is doesnt care about any of her 4 kids and i havent seen ryan since. Jack recently started going to AA meetings. He hasnt been drunk for a while but now he is just a sober ***, i dont know what happened to the man whom i used to go fishing with and we go sneek out of the house to buy flowers for mom before she woke up. What happened why do people change?
my mom though isnt much better she is constantly drinking and is just very irresponsible. She goes out parting all the time and i have steped in and feel as if i am the adult in the family. She was recently dignosed with breast cancer. She is scared i know. I have held her while she crys and confort her with words but. After her first doctors appointment she almost OD because she liked how the pain pills make her feel and she doesnt take the doctors seriosly when they say no alcohol. For years i have also though she was bipolar, she has panic attacks and has had a very tramatic child hood.
At my dads house he is always gone on business and last year he got a DUI. My step mom just moved back in, she has been gone for a year and i loved it. I have lived with this lady since i was 3 and we have never did one thing together, we have never even given each other a hug unless it was a akward birthday greeting.
My sister just had a miscarrage also
I am constantly learning new things about my past that i dont like and niether of my parents think they should have to have responsiblity over me but bolth want me as a tax write off.
I hope i am a good child i do all i can i have never gotten into trouble i get straight A’s. But i dont know why no one likes me
I dont have many friends in school except my art teacher whom i love she is so kind and i talk to her about breast cancer because she has had it but thats about it. Even my only close friend is growing distant and she says its because im turning into my parents and i desperatlly dont want that. My mom says the same thing that i am just like my dad, and my dad says the same thing except visversa. Do you know how bad it hurts to be told your like the person your loved one hates so much and is always talking bad about it?
Well i can keep going on about my stupid petty problems , but for the few of you whom actually read this i take my hat off to you and thank you.
i hope some one responds anything i just need some one badly and i am also very willing to listen to anyone elses problems.

Hi. I just wanted you to know that A’s don’t make you a good child. Just living and taking care of your brother and dealing with all of the craziness makes you a great person. I hope things start looking better for you, because you seem like the kind of person that deserves a little good luck. So. Good luck.

I know this is gonna sound lame, but hear me out. I’ve recently discovered that’s really, truly, not about what your teacher thinks, what your father thinks, what your peers think. You came into this world by yourself, with nothing, and you leave it by yourself, with only your deeds to lead you on. In the end, its about what made you happy, what you did to make others happy, and what made your life stand out. What little contribution you added to this world. Don’t be unsure. Know what you’re doing, and then live. Live each day with the attitude that its going to be different than the day before and its going to change something. A small something or a big something. Who cares? Just do it. For yourself.

the only “job” a child should have is going to school and a few minor chores around the house. so if you are getting A’s then you are doing a perfect job, especially at your age , it is hard work at that grade level.

is your sister still at home or does she have a stable home elsewhere you could visit when needed?

the results you get show that your hard working and bright. the fact that you can still achieve this even with all your going through is amazing. your the kind of person that movies are made about and books are written. as bad as it is, reading your story shows me that though my life aint the best right now, (screwing up uni, broke up with girlfreind a while ago and Granny passed away yesterday) there are other people out there putting up with much worse. i dont think i could live with your pressure.
hang in there, life WILL get better for you, you have the strength and courage to go far. even though i have, and will most likely never meet you, thankyou for your story. it has lifted a burden from me. take care, and all the best.

Hello sweetie, I can only imagine the pain you are facing. I am a recovering addict this means I abused drugs and alcohol for a long time and caused myself and family great pain as what your parents and thier patners are casuing you. 1st I would like to tell you they mess has nothing to do with who you are. They are addicts and this doesn’t mean theydon’t love you it means they don’t love thier selve. If you beleive in God or whatever you stay strong and pray to whatever your belief is continue to better yourself and stay focused. What ever you do don’t pick up drugs or alcohol to numb yourself because that is exactly what they are doing. My advice to you is to seek a support network maybe the art teacher mayknow of some typeofsupport groups inyour area or even you guidance counselor at school. This may not be what you want to do. But Iknow there is power in prayer so sweetie stay strong. Maybe encourage your Mom to attend the AA meetings it sounds like she could use them.

no problem. i havent said nothing but the truth in my eyes.
And dam right Anon, WE WILL PREVAIL!!!! all of us.
a small suggestion, try and find a friend that you can trust and talk to, maybe not necessarily some1 close, but sum1 you can feel comfortable offloading all this onto. i find talking bout things helps clear my head and work out what i really want/need.
if you can aswell, id talk to your mum and Jack, probably seperatly, and tell them how this is affecting you, not in an accusing way, but jus state your fee
lings and point of view. it might wake them up to your obvious plight and At the very least you wont feel you have to stay quiet about this all upsetting you. talking to your sister bout how she hurts you could also help because she may be so wrapped up in her own misery, as im sure this affects her aswell, and maybe give you both a chance to get closer and/or tackle this problem together. 2 voices in unison are louder than 1.

at least you now know how to start solving this problem of yours. and if you can, try talking to her when she’s sober. she’ll listen better then.
and talk to your art teacher, you 2 seem to get on, if she’s as nice as you make her out to be, then she will be glad to talk to you and she wont consider it a bother. plus she also has experience with dealing with breast cancer, and will have tips for you and your mum on how to get through it.
your best friend most likely doesnt understand what our going through and is scared of it,so she sticks her head in the sand and hope it all goes away.
if things get really bad would you be able to stay at her house if necessary? its always good to have somewhere else to go if you need to.

try writing it down, it makes it easier to tell ppl, either by jus reading it to them or letting them read it themselves. i think talking to the school councilor would be a good idea if you can do it, they’re trained for this kind of thing and have lots of resources at their disposal.
as for more important issues, im considering counselling for my problems, and yours are way worse. you need to talk to someone, be selfish in this matter for your own wellbeing.

I would like to say to you that there is nothing wrong with you, but the people around you have problems and you can’t solve them no matter how hard you try or want to. If there is a school counselor that you feel comfortable with or your art teacher I would talk to them. You need to take care of yourself so you can have a positive future and not become part the cycle that your parents have set in motion. Because it is easier to become part of the cycle than to fight it, You need someone that you can trust and feel comfortable with to talk to when it gets bad. Some one any one in your community that you can turn to that will help you and your brother. And I can be contacted through a shout if you need some one to vent to as well. I would be more than willing to listen. Good Luck
