I went through the same thing until I graduated, I still can’t find anyone hiring, so the job part still hasn’t worked out. But I think that the easiest way to deal with stress is to find something that you can pour your soul into, like music, writing, sculpting, drawing or painting. I think that the only reason that I still have any sanity is that I found things to pour my soul into. If you want to talk, I think you’re my friend on facebook, if not, let me know and I’ll give you my email.
@softsoul you r rote it is a lot of responisbility but if i dnt do it no one will n tht poor inasaint lil girl will be heart broke n lonely. n she said i needed to take more responsiblity and learn what its like to have to work and pay bills when shedoesnt even do that her bf pays everything for us and im thinkin about just payin a babysittier 4 her when i working out of my check. n play time hahaha there is none. @ trapped yeah its not fun at all but i dnt have time to find that thing to pour my soul into excpt music because hailey loves music. n ok
To be honest, no 17 yr old should be doing what you’re doing. Way too much responsibility. You shouldn’t even be looking after your niece. It’s enough to look after ourselves.
I coached a 14 yr old girl who was looking after her two younger sisters.
When there’ dysfunction in the family, it leaves room for all sorts of unnecessary drama and heart ache. No wonder you’re stressed…sheesh.
Why would your mom kick you out at 17?…Woh! Progress is made when there’s harmony and people push in the same direction. Are you able to confront your mom on the workload that’s been dumped on you…perhaps a nanny could be arranged. Where’s your play time? clnrch7 at gmail dot com if you want to chat. Take care.
