What Should I Do About My Family?
Question by Mack: What should I do about my family?
Well I think I should add a bit of detail: I am a 14 year old middle class boy, I live around Milwaukee Wisconsin, I love basketball and 90’s hip hop, and I am generally happy. But when I am alone, I reflect on the problems in my life and the hardships that I go through. I don’t want to sound like a complainer or a whiner because I know there are people far worse off than me.
MY 5 BEST FRIENDS:
My Dad: My father is an interesting guy. He is one of the nicest and smartest people I know. He only cares about me and my grandfather, and that makes me feel secure. But my father has had a terrible life. He has terrible health problems and has had too many surgeries to count. He is a regular visitor at St. Luke’s. But besides the obvious negative side of having an awful immune system, he has developed a terrible disease: addiction. He is a painkiller addict, and a bad one. When he’s high, it’s like I’m talking to some perverted lunatic. He talks about him and his girlfriend’s sex life and all of these things I don’t need to hear. It’s really disturbing. I just try to ignore it and pray that the next time I see him he isn’t all screwed up on oxycontin.
My brothers: My brother’s, Marcus and Lawrence, have seperate problems. They were both very important in me growing up. Even though they are my step brothers, I’ve known them since as far back as I can remember. They are a good 15 years older than me, but they are still brothers. Anyway, let’s start with Marcus. when he was around 16 he started smoking weed and drinking. My stepdad flipped and kicked him out. That probably wasn’t a good idea because in about a year he developed an oxycontin addiction, like my pops. He is off of it now, but it has left him scarred. He is very slow and shaky and he talks very monotonously. I used to look up to him when I was little, but now he is very boring and hard to relate to. Now lets talk about my brother Lawrence. Me and him would drive around and run errands every weekend. It was my favorite thing to do. He was so much fun, and I looked up to him like he was Ghandi. But he wasn’t too bright, and he was very desperate. He met a girl and he adored her. He would not stop talking to her on the phone. It turns out that after 2 weeks after meeting eachother, they moved in together. Another week went by, and Lawrence bought her a Suburban. Let’s keep in mind, my brother is a truck driver. She convinced him that his family was against him. We knew what was going on so we confronted him. The next week, they were never heard of again. We think they live in South Carolina. So that’s 3 of my best friends who I’ve lost.
My Maternal Grandma and Grandpa. They lived in Northern Wisconsin. They were the best grandparents anyone could ask for. They bought a big expensive basketball hoop so I could work on my game up north. I was very close with them. But my grandfather wasn’t the guy he seemed like. It turns out he is a petty criminal. He has been running scams to survive. To save money, he would pump his waste into the lake up north.(I know that sounds very redneck, but he was more like a mob boss). He faked a robbery at his jewelry shop for insurance money. He hadn’t paid taxes all his life. He was a small time crook. His next victim? My mom and my aunt. He pulled some fancy financial lever that made my mom and aunt pay all of there expenses and leave us broke. We got all of our money back, thankfully, but that hasn’t patched the emotional scar. That’s 5 best friends gone with the wind.
I have all the material posessions that a kid could want. I have a tv, and xbox, turntables, food, a bed, and all that good stuff. I’m popular at school and I’m good with girls. I get good grades. But I still have a life that’s full of thoughts that I wish were reality. I know life can’t be perfect, and I’d give all that stuff up just to have those 5 people in my life. How should I cope (specifically with my dad)?
Dear Erin,
I’m sorry that your angry, but come on. Your Yahoo answers advice isn’t really that important to me. And you don’t know me. So don’t judge. Oh wait let me guess, you probably judged me by my profile picture thing. Well don’t, because it’s Hank Hill from my favorite show. So shut up.
