You and Joey hated each other. You hated Joey for turning to drugs, addiction, and attempts. And Joey hated you because you acted like his situation was nothing and he wasn't strong enough to handle something that 'small'.
Joey is 18. Second eldest of the Lynch siblings, Darren, Tadhg, Ollie, Sean, and Shannon. He raised all on his younger siblings because his father Teddy was abusive, Darren left when he could, and his mum Marie was never around. So he fathered his siblings and dealt with the beatings from Teddy. And all of that caused him to fall into a bad crowd of drugs, weed, and alcohol. And it got very bad.
Little did Joey know. you had almost the same situation, and that was why you thought he was weak for turning to drugs. Your mother was never around. When she was, she was dropping off another baby she had had, for you to look after. Your father was a drunk. also never around, but when he was, he was normally passed out drunk on the floor somewhere. You had raised your 3 siblings on your own. You had been a mother since the age of 9. You had to take care of other lives since you were 9 years old. You never got a childhood. You worked 2 jobs, went to school, and looked after your siblings who were having their own problems that you had to sort out too. You were exhausted physically and mentally. You had to start paying bills at 13 years old. You had to drop behind a year in school just so you could help your siblings with their own school work. You had no friends because you never had a spare moment to yourself.
Joey just had his mum, Marie, die in a house fire, Teddy had caused. So he had to move. He got custody of Tadhg, Ollie, and Sean, while Shannon went to live with Johnny. her boyfriend.
And just his luck. The house he moved into was right next to yours. And he was about to find out, why you were like you were.
