I got a call at work today from my sisters school. Her guidance councilor, in search of a way to contact my mother. Who not too long after that call actually showed up, letting me know she was there waiting till i was off my shift.
I said not a word, I had to get some time to think. I knew what this was about, had a pretty damn good idea. I got home and my sister was a nervous mess. They knew for sure, apparently a fried of her's told the school she was cutting.
She spoke with councilor a lot it seems, she seems ok with that part, got things off her chest but the whole talking with my mother part. I know why she was so scared. I know how scared I was for 7 years of desperate secrecy.
I broke the news for her, had to when my sisters lie only aimed different put downs at her, arrow sharp, sniper aim.( My mother would be great at COD)
She wasn't pleased at all,that I already knew. She said it was just my sister trying to get attention. That she got the idea from me. That it was my fault. That I'm screwed up and she should have stuck me in therapy as a kid. She yells I'm taking her to therapy so she doesn't get screwed up too, and she's leaving with me. My mother isn't staying at our place.
(Which was good, in the fact that I was about to head to a homeless shelter, because she refused to drive me to work anymore the night before, until I negociated more gas money. She didn't want to stay in the house with my step father though.) Read more »
