my family is going through a really tough time right now. my dad is very sick but not really physically. he has a disease thing were he cant function right. this is causing my mom and me and my brother to pick up many more responsibilities and is causing a lot of stress. as my mom says "i am being forced to grow up too quickly" i was wondering if you knew any ways to relieve stress and make this easier for me and my family to handle.

Yes, I do know how hard that is. When my step-dad got kicked out of my mom's house I had to pick up all the parenting responsibillities, because my mom got mentally sick had a breakdown and wouldn't get out of bed. i took the responsibility of getting people to take my little brother to day care and to make dinner and all that I did all the work and what made it easier was knowing that it was keeping me and my brother alive and well, taking care of a 4 year old wasn't easy but I did it. I was forced to grow up so fast and it was hard but now when I meet people they think that I'm 18 or 19 when I'm only 14. I just tell them I was forced to grow up fast. Growing up fast isn't bad. You still get to enjoy your child hood some but your more mature and get alot more respect for it. Just keep up with your school work and do all your chores at home. Know that it's helping your family and no matter what your family is the most importnat thing in the world. Your family needs your help and it may not mean much but I am proud of you for helping them in a time of need, not many people would do that. It takes a very mature person to do that and it's not uncommon to want help. I hope y ou realize that your helping someone else in one way or another. I hope your dad gets better and I hope this helps!-Krista
