So...yeah....

Before anyone asks...no this is NOT an April Fool's joke...I wish it were.

The last few days have not been good, my step-dad is threatening to kick me out if I don't find a job soon. However it is not that easy and in a way he is ultimately to blame but I can of course blame him, but let me explain. When I was growing up most of my childhood and teenage years he was out of work, and I do mean most of it. So he was more a hindrance than a help, never doing anything around the house and instead eating lots and drinking a lot. He's had his recent job for nearly two years, the longest I've ever seen him working, so it's a surprise but he even threatens to quit on a daily basis cause he "can't stand working there". His mother's dying wish was for HIM to finish college but instead he dropped it and wasted the entirety of the grants he got. He promised several times that he would help me and my brother get driver's licenses, to teach us how to drive. My brother had one of his friends help him get his license, and sadly I still do not have mine. Me and my brother had even pooled our money together to buy a used vehicle, before my brother had an accident in said-vehicle so I've been trying to work on it to fix it, to get some driving experience, but that is not easy when I've never done such work before, so I'm having to read a book and look online on how to do things.

If he hadn't been out of work so much when I was younger and ending up having surgeries done as well which made it harder for my mom, then me and my brother would of been able to go to college right out of high school or had a vehicle much sooner. He claims I'm only sucking up resources right now, however he refuses, even while working, to help my mom with any of the bills. He began to scream at me because my mom asked him for money to help pay the mortgage. He should be helping her anyway, he's her husband and yet instead he bought himself a motorcycle and has begun drinking a lot lately and stopped seeing his therapist. He even blames me for the fact that he wants to divorce my mom. However I know he never will, because then he couldn't free-load himself and would actually have to pay bills of his own. On the contrary though, the vehicle my mom uses to drive to work, and the house, is in HIS name. So he could kick us all out at a moments notice and make us all homeless and sadly it seems there is nothing we can do.

Ohh Katherine…I'm so very sorry to hear these problems you're having with your step-father! :( He sounds very immature, and definitely more like a burden rather than the contributor to the family that he should be!

I pray that things improve with him soon. God bless you, dear. :iconsadhugplz:
