hhhhh ok a y
so my last update in this book was basically me stressing over the fact that there's some financial shit goin on with my family
and uh my mom told me the following that actually pretty reassuring-
+ That I probably won't need to die or run away from home because according to the law even if my parents separate my dad has to provide money for us (or else he'd technically be abandoning us if he didn't. Which is basically what he did this weekend, the fucking jerk.)
+ B u t...there's a loophole to the law.
Say my parents are separated. But if my dad quits his job or some shit happens that he can't pay us (like if he goes out of the U.S), we'd be in hot water at that point.
And knowing him, he'd do anything to sabotage us.
+ So we really can't risk him leaving us because we need that cash.
Mom told me that we'd basically have to play dumb and put up with his bullshit to keep him in the house to keep that money we need.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD ME THAT'S GREAT?
That my brother, her and I on weekends can take the car anywhere to escape him and only come back home of we really need to.
And honestly, weekend road trips with em sounds great.
Jfc I kinda wanna cry at how nice enough this turnout came to be but tears are something my dad permanently took away from me.
