This year
This year may have been one of my hardest yet. Christmas Eve 2018 my grandfather passed away. Thats when things began to snowball. My mother started acting irrationally. This led to us find out many things she was hiding..the lack of care she was providing my grandparents the large sums of money she had taken from them. She turned physical which lead to my aunt stepping in and caring for my grandmother and my 14 year old brother to come live with me. Me and my aunt grew closer then one day the calls became shorter then they stopped. In May we had the police do a well check. They found her on her couch where she had been for 3 days. She had been an alcoholic for years and it finally just shut her body down. I was now left to take care of my grandma who was on last stages of Alzheimer's. Granted she was not in my home but I was her legal guardian. I visited her multiple times a week most of the time her not know who I was. In September she passed away. I couldn't even count on my own mother to help the funeral. I'm still struggling to care for my own kids as well as my brother. We are struggling to pay bills all while she just sits at home worries for nothing and is about to inherit around a million dollars. I have not just lost my grandparents , my aunt but I also lost my relationship with my mother.i am at the lowest point I have been in a long time. Other than work I sleep that's all I want to do.
