"Cinderella"... sorry it's so long.


Question Posted Monday May 23 2005, 3:44 pm

Ok,I didn't know what category to put this question under, but I guess that doesn't really matter right now. My life is falling apart.

My parents are getting a divorce, because my older half sister and nephew (they're in rehab) are planning on moving in with us (she'd take my car and my room) and my mom doesn't want her to. My Dad feels it's his duty as her father. They'd already been having problems, and my mother's set of parents (my last set of grandparents) are dying, and she'd been really depressed lately. My mom decided the best way to get over it is to leave and go to Washington. None of us know exactly where.

So now, in since my Dad is in Michigan a lot, for his job, it is up to me to run a whole house-hold (cooking, cleaning, shopping, EVERYTHING!) and go to school. I have 4 little brothers and sisters (ages; 11, 8, 6 and 5)... On top of this, I have a job at a hospital, and am picked up by my uncle every day at 6:30 so I can work for two hours. I also realize that I'm very depressed, and have been ever since my ex dumped me two years ago. I can't seem to get over him, and if I even try to date anyone else, I always find some reason to dump them.. please help me.. somehow.. I know it's long.. I'm so sorry..

honey, you gotta find a bright side, and something you really LOVE to do in your spare time, if you still live with parents, try to get them to help out. I know this is tough, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

I imagine there is more to your parents divorcing than your sister moving back in. Though I don't necessarily think its a good idea. I don't know that it is best to have 2 people fresh out of rehab living with impressionable young children. I would think that the stress of living with young children wouldn't be the best for them either. I hope staying with your family is just until they get jobs and enough money to get a place of their own.
ADD ON>>>>>>>>>>>>
Really! I would never have guessed you were only 14! Hang in there. I hope everything works out well. You sound like you're very mature for your age. You still need to be rid of a few responsibilities though. Take time to be a teenager. I really hope all goes well for you. :)

Hey!
I am so sorry first of all you shouldn't have to go through all that!

Let me start with your parents divorece. Its not your fault no matter what anyone says don't believe it.

It is NOT your fathers duty they are grown kids! They make their own desions and shouldn'd mooch off of her father anymore!

YOUR DAD CAN NOT AND SHOULD NOT PILE EVERYTHING ON YOU IT IS WAY TO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE.

Your Ex SCREW HIM! He doesn't know what he is missing out on and you know what it may take a while to get over him the only way to is to go out with other guys. So break out your little black book and i know it will be hard but go for it with them just start out as friends. then go on from there.

Now for the depression if you take control of all these situations it will get better. If not you may need to go to a doctor, and get meds you know.

Good Luck, God Bless.
