jake has his mouth shut: act i

parental issues

i thought i would be done with this part of the story, but apparently not.

because i kind of need to share this fact about my dad, lenny, and my mom, jennifer.

according to my mom, when my dad was around 24 he started using heroin. he couldn't get off of it.

when they had my sister, dad was too high to even hear the call from the hospital letting him know that she was born. could barely even see straight.

my mom started using drugs around 4 years after i was born. my sister ran away but didn't take me. she didn't want to take me away from my parents when i was a kid. she thought i'd be happy.

she left me her phone number in my room's drawer so when i get a phone, i can text her and call her. good thing it still even worked.

my parents started to abuse the drugs, my dad always seeking heroin, mom continuously getting high on pills and lsd, and with that they also started drinking a few months ago. i honestly dont know how they are still alive.

now that i am out of the house, i can stop seeing their always high faces, looking at the tv like fucking zombies.

but it came with a huge cost. me being homeless.

at 16 years old, being homeless isn't good at all. but, it could change at anytime.

my parents could very well be dead right now, and i wouldn't know. i'm halfway across town from them. but, it's whatever. i have to go to a therapy session with mike. write later.
