so I just got back home from visiting my dad for nearly two weeks, and I donno how to feel, I loved visiting him and his gf and getting to see his gf's daughter (also visiting them) again, it's the second time I've gone and while last time my ma was doing sk much worse mentally again so it was a sort of escape from having to unwillingly play therapist again atleast she still had a job in that moment and while yeah we we're worried about bills atleast it wasn't that bad but this time she had another breakdown right after she got her last paycheck (which was nearly two months worth) (the breakdown wasn't related to her losing her job) and instead of trying to save as much as possible she drank, a lot, like around 100£ a week for like 2 or 3 weeks, and sure I bought stuff I could have not gotten (band and movie T's but only cause the way she acted in the beginning I didn't realise she was drinking THAT much again) and yeah, when I left for my dads she was emotionally better so I left on a good note but FUCK was I not prepared to come back, well I thought I was fine but the second I walked through the door and saw the pile of month old dishes and our cat still looking depressed I just felt like I was crashing down, I started crying realising I'm back to my reality, knowing we're just on the edge of homelessness or having our gass/electric turned off and how together we only have like 13£ for the rest of the month and electricity and gas are about to run out and need to be topped up again, I'm just glad my ma saw me in the moment I'd stopped crying cause I know she woulda broken down cause if I show even a bit of worry/sadness anything around her she breaks. It's all just too much my face is covered in tears, I'm in my room for nearly 2 hours now and I haven't had the energy to change or do anything and just looking at the fuckin trash heap that is my room isn't helping. I just wanna scream and make it all go away, why the fuck won't it just go away
