My boyfriend's mother
Posted by an anonymous user on 9/2/2008 1:38:00 AM
My boyfriend grew up in a trailer.Literally like a broke-down, 2 bedroom attached trailer in one of the poorest trailer park communities in the city.His mother used to be addicted to painkillers and now she has an alcohol problem.
My boyfriend is 19.His younger sister is 14 and she is going down the wrong path.His baby sister is 4 years old and has no idea what is going on.His brother is 10 years old and you can already see in his face how angry and sullen he is.
2 years ago, his dad took off because he couldn't handle his wife anymore.He was always in and out of their lives and now he hasn't been seen in 2 years straight.My boyfriend takes care of all of them.
My boyfriend took himself out of the situation, graduated high school, attends a good college, and works a well-paying job.He is trying to help his 14 year old sister stay out of trouble (but I already know that she does weed and has sex with her boyfriend, usually unprotected) and trying to save enough money for his mom to go to rehab but then last night his mom said that she didn't care if he had a million dollars for rehab, she would never go to any of those places because she doesn't have a problem.
He has so much stress in his life and I want to help him but I know that there is literally nothing I can do for him because these are all personal family matters.
I love him and respect him for what he is doing but I just wish there was more I could do..

maybe you should babysit his lil sister when he's not home so that she doesnt keep going down the wrong path.
you should get government help since the mom is an addict

Not sure how you would feel about doing this. But, you would really be helping your boyfriend out if you could help him find help for his brothers and sisters. Sounds like they live in horrible conditions. If the mother doesn't want to take care of them maybe Child Protective Services needs to be made aware of the situation there. ASAP!!
