I'm still upset about the way my boyfriend's mom treats him. She doesn't seem to understand that she's pushing him away by taking all his disability money which he offered only part of to help pay for the cable and rent; he should have $200 left for himself to spend on things to make him happy since there's not much else he can do in life because he's dying from his Wilson's Disease.
It's getting to the point where he just wants to move out or blow his brains out which depresses him because he thought he'd NEVER be the person to give up like that. And if he moves out, he'd leave his family homeless because he's basicly their leg-up in the situation they're in. His mom is the only one there with a job because his stepdad lost the job he got recently because his bachground came back bad and the fired him, and James doesn't think he'd be able to do that to his family because the guilt would eat him alive...
This entire morning, he spent 3 hours venting to me about his problems which I can't blaim him for the way he's feeling (actually... for all the sh*t he's gone through, I would have blown my brains out years ago...)
It wouldn't be so bad if his mom, step-dad, and step-brother just were greatful for the things he does for them. He helps around the house every day (including cleaning up after the cat and dogs which aren't even really his to take care of; they're his mom's). He even offers to help whenever there's like a problem with the computer and his mom just snaps back at him "I didn't ask for your help!" and I've actually heard her over the phone that she constantly does all the time. I mean... she's Bi-Polar, I know, but... She acts like a raging tiger just waiting for the right moment to strike fear in her prey.
Not only that, but it seems his mom only cares about his step-dad. His step-brother will OCCASIONALLY get some attention with like a full coarse lunch for school when James only gets ramen which is hard for him to cook because his disease makes his muscles very weak, but... yeah... And the thing that sucks about that is the fact that James is supposed to be eating 5 full coarse meals a day and he barely has 2! It's no wonder he's so skinny...
I'm sorry, but... it's just very upseting knowing that a woman whose son is dying, isn't her priority. ESPECIALLY if he's actually helping pay bills which he shouldn't even have to worry about!
But, he'll leave next month if he isn't given the $16 his mom promised him so he could use it to buy presents for people during Christmas. (he told me if that happens, he's only going to give me something because I'm really the only one now who seems to care about him other than his internet buddies.)
So... all in all... I'm upset because of the crap my boyfriend is going through and shouldn't have to go through hell because of his leeching mom.
EDIT: I can't even really do anything about this because I have no money of my own unless I get a job which is EXTREMELY unlikely... I mean.. I just wish we both had a break in life for once...
