Today I fell down the stairs. Great job.
The other day my parents wiped my $5000 debt that I accumulated from a couple of un-fixable cars, an asshole brother, a horse and a drinking problem. Having that looming over my head had always felt like a huge weight that was keeping me here. The reason why I could not be planning to go overseas with Tim and J, get another car or do anything other then work while living out of home, its not they were demanding I pay them back, but you just can’t plan to spend anything if you owe money. It was originally 10 grand but out of pity my parents lowered it. I sold my car to repay at least some of it so I could ask to borrow more to get bond and deposit money to move out of nightmare house. My brother had sold me my last car saying that he could fix a few things on it and I could sell it for 5000 and clear my debt. A year went past, and he still had not made even the tinsiest bit of progress towards fixing any part of the car. In this year the car got into even worse condition seeing as it was not receiving mechanical aid and the fact that the price of petrol was sky-rocketing and being a 6 cylinder car, my brother sold it for less then half its promised value. So.. out of pity again, my parents wiped the remainder of my debt. I just found out my health insurance does not cover dental work done in a hospital. My parents shouldn’t have to pay for it. I’m a grown up now. Welcome back, debt. It’s going to cost me another few thousand dollars.
I wonder when I’m going to start coming out on top. It feels like winning for me, is breaking even, or not losing too much.
I hope home this weekend is going to make everything OK again.
