I don’t know why my mom is doing this. I’m crying typing this. Just have money and you will be my mom’s favorite child. I’m not happy at all. I’m just living life the way I want. I have been trying my best for this family. I even stepped down for my junior brother. The money I was supposed to use to write exams, I let him have it. Life is really unfair to me. I always put my family first, but I guess I’m stupid for doing that. I’m just 26 and it seems like it’s about to end. My business, friends, love life—I lost everything, and my mom is not even giving me rest of mind. I’m the only one that doesn’t know my father.
My other siblings have someone to call dad, but I don’t, and I never used that against her. I feel like I’m left alone. I hope life gets better for me soon because I’m tired. I want to leave this house and find a job that has accommodation. I want to start a new life. I’m done. I want to change my SIM card and leave this house for good. I know she might come crawling back, but I’ve had enough. My stepdad left us for another woman, starting a new family in the house they built together.
He claimed my mom never told him about her three kids before marrying him. Honestly, I’m not angry. I know how much my mom suffered, but it’s frustrating that she can’t just stay away from toxic relationships and focus on us instead. Now we’re six kids, and I’m exhausted. Every time I earn money, I want to give it to her or buy something for the house, but no matter what I do, she never appreciates it. I just want to leave this house and start fresh.
