Alex_M Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I'm gonna make this a quick vent/call for help & advice I know some peoples lives are much more terrible than mine in comparisson, but I'm still finding it hard to go on. Brother and Father hate each other and have 2 year legal battle. I'm stuck inbetween. Hate school & quit. GF goes to uni GF leaves me same week as going to uni - "love of my life" AKA would have got married/had kids. GF telling me how she regrets leaving one week GF sucking off another guy the next week GF tells me she never really loved me. Realise I can now count my friends on one hand. Father runs off to Ukraine with another woman (parents already split) - but i havn't seen or heard from him. Lose my job Mother contracts potentially fatal disease. Cat is sent to hospital. - finally tipped me over the edge for some reason. I'm 17 and have to look after my mum and little sister now and feel like I'm running out of people who care about me... Thanks for reading.
Peter_pan Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 hey man sorry to hear all of that. well i know what it feels like for friends and a gf to turn there back. lost my job. left uni. youve had it worse than me though with the family side of the scene. well i guess all you can do is chin up soldier
Bleeve Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 That sucks. My dad left us when I was 3 months old. Haven't seen him since and he lives in the same town as me. My mom had cancer and had a kidney removed but it still living. My brother slept with my now ex-wife while I was married to her. The mother of my 4 yr. old son, cheated on me with a guy that we both work with, and then became pregnant to him. All of my friends care more about pills then they do me. Dude, I have had it bad but you know what. I would rather be alive and have a chance at happiness then the opposite. Things will get better and you will meet someone that cares and would never cheat on you or leave you. If I can still believe that then you can too. Good luck and stay strong for your mom and sis.

Montclair0011 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Alex M - Your life sounds horrible. You should be proud of the way you have been able to keep it together. The good news is that you are only 17 and things can get much much better if you plan for a better future. Forget about the girlfriend who went off to school. You will find others. You should go back to school to and go to college yourself and meet lots of better girls there. That's the best thing you can do. You are too young to be thinking about marriage and children yet. Do what you can to not end up with a wife or a kid until you are at least in your late 20's and have a good job. That will make your life a lot better and way less stressful. You sound like a smart and resilient kid. It's good you are reaching out for help in this board. You should also see if you can find a therapist or counselor to help you. The people around you and your family do not sound like they have the kind of advice you should listen to. You have to look out for yourself. It's a shame because you are missing your childhood, but make the right choices and don't screw up and things could be a lot happier a few years down the road. Good luck.
