Lights out

[Anita Fixx]

So they cut the electricity (including heat and gas) in my house...in the middle of January, in the middle of a VERY cold winter. I live with my mom, her boyfriend and my brother. After years of living with roommates in Vancouver I thought that coming back home would make my life easier. It's been almost the complete opposite.
My mom works two jobs and she still can't afford to pay all the bills. I have to pay rent in order to help them make payments.
I wish I had someone else's life. I wish I'd been born into a wealthy family so I would'nt have these problems. So I could focus on creating art and films which is what I really want to do.

My mom's boyfriend is being an a****** now demanding that I pay MORE rent. Just when the student loans a******* are harrassing me to "pay in full". Ha! Yeah f***** right! If I had the money do they not think I would've paid them and got it over with years ago.
Nobody choses to be poor. Nobody says when they're a kid "Gee I wanna be really poor one day!"
I'm sick of living this way. If this is how it's gonna be for the rest of life I'd rather not experience it.I need to get outta this s*** h*** I just don't know how.

Darlin...Trust me when I say all these terrible times will pass. I went through some very similar situations. just do what you have to do to take care of yourself and everything will turn for the better.
