looking after parents

When children have to "look after" their parents

You know it’s a sad truth. Some parents really can’t look after themselves yet they have a kid. Because you know it sounded like a good idea right. No it’s wrong. I hate parents who don’t know how to raise a child because they themselves are a child.

I think that growing up in a situation where I had to grow up fast (witch I do not blame my parents for at all, it was completely out of their hands, and they still tried to give me the childhood I wanted and needed) I find it hard to deal with other parents that are being childish. I think that if you really want something than you should work hard to get it. If you see that you have a problem with depression than find help.

 Now I’m waiting for that one person to say you don’t know what it’s like…yeah OK. I know what it’s like, feeling worthless like you don’t mean anything. Like every bite of food you take is hurting you. Like you can sleep for hours (23 is my record, but only because my mom woke me up) and still sleep for more. Like talking to people and smiling is forced and not like it used to be. It hurts, bad. Like no one knows what you’re going through, but there are others. They will help you, but like I said you will only get it if you want it. I wanted to be able to smile without being on a drug. I wanted to sit with my dad and not want to burst in to tears. So I got it. Don’t get me wrong I still have my days. But I have found what I needed, and that’s someone who will be there for me at only a phone call away.

So what I really wanted to get across is, don’t be a child with a kid. If you need help get it. If you’re not able to stand on your own, find someone to carry you for a little. I know how hard that can be, but do it for your kid.
