WARNING LONG RANT POST INCOMING!!
My parents are currently divorcing, my dad has pretty much abandoned me in favour of his ‘replacement family’ (he cheated basically). I’m not a minor so anybody in their right mind would pack their bags and move out. Though for me there’s several problems that are keeping me from doing so…
I have no money cause my dad took it to pay some bills (he has also made us bankrupt). I have a summer job which should help keep us afloat until I go back to university; but both my uni and workplace are an hour and a half train journey away and I wouldn’t even be able to afford to rent a place of my own even with help (I live in France). As if that wasn’t enough I don’t have a car nor a license so I have to rely on my dad to ferry me to the station. He always goes on and on about how he has to plan his life around mine yet expects me to take a day off work so he can go visit his replacement girlfriend whilst my mum had to move back to the UK. If she had no family she would be currently living on the streets because of his choices. How long will it be until he does the same thing to me? His replacement woman’s got three kids so I’ll be easily replaced when I’m gone. Though hopefully I won’t be sticking around to find out.
As for my mum I just don’t want to make her worry anymore, she’s been through enough. My dad was never abusive in any way but she was trapped in a loveless marriage for over 20 years because of me. She didn’t want me growing up in a single-parent household because it had happened to her. One thing I find concerning yet somehow ironic is that 90% of my family members are divorced and all of the reasons were because their husbands/wives were abusive/cheaters/manipulators… I guess we’re just rubbish at picking partners, though this does make me wonder if the same thing would’ve happened to me. Though nobody talks to me anyway. I have friends who are nice to me; but it’s always me that has to initiate the conversation otherwise I could go for months with no contact at all. So apart from my mum and a couple of family members I can’t see very often I can’t think of anyone missing me long-term.
Maybe it’s for the best.

Sorry for the rant, I’m aware that a lot of you must deal with worse situations than mine but I just needed to get everything off my chest. I had nowhere else to turn to so I came here. ^^”
You don’t have to say sorry for your rants, that’s what this site is for. And I like your username. I just finished eating some potaoes just now 🙂
Thanks, that’s reassuring! Potato was the only username I liked that wasn’t taken, though they are pretty delicious just as long as they’re not mashed!
Yeah I hate cheaters and home wreckers! What I find amusing is that 9 out of 10 times the person who “stole” the partner from their spouse end up getting dumped too. Lol like seriously what do you expect?
Yeah I have a dumb family to only that they don’t leave cheating spouses they do anything to stay with them.
Well hope things work out for you and you stay on this earth. What’s in the UK? Maybe you should go with your mum might be a new start for you aswell. Can you go to another university and cross credit your grades? Yeah just trying to help you maybe think of other options because there are plenty. Or find some other uni students to live with closer to the university lots of students must be in the same boat and need a room mate to share expenses.
Yeah and don’t feel bad about ranting its what we all do around here. Lolz
Like it’s already been said, you don’t have to say sorry for posting here. You can share whatever you wanna share. I guess, no one will judge you here.
And You are welcome here. 🙂
