My Family pt. 3

My father’s depression was affecting everybody. My parents started arguing, my dad started to act different and wasn’t able to control himself. My dad’s employees started to ask my mother and me if he was on drugs. We kept telling them no that he was not, but they wouldn’t believe us. He would walk around the house stumbling and would half to hold onto things. He would sleep all day and almost fall off the roof sometimes because of his illness. Knowing that my father was ill nobody knew what he was ill with. My mom would ask him to go to the hospital and see what was wrong but he refused over and over. My mom even warned him that if he didn’t go he will end up in an ambulance getting rushed to the hospital and that’s exactly what happened. I remember waking up to my mom saying wake up, wake up. I walked in my parents room and my dad wasn’t waking up he was in a coma but we thought he was dead. So I called 911 and told them what happened. Once they got to my house they tried to wake him up but they couldn’t. So they rushed him to Crist hospital. That night we found out that he had phenomena and if we wouldn’t have called when we did he would have been dead in the next couple hours. My family and I were so thankful that he was still alive and that he would be alright.

My Family’s Life pt. 2

While all of this stuff with my brother was going on my great aunt tini became very ill. She came down with lung cancer. I remember going to the hospital every day to see her. She would always go back and forth from home to the hospital. The doctors told her she half to stop smoking but she refused. She would sit on her couch and smoke while falling over. She would even fall asleep at times while the cigarette was in her hand. Soon enough after a year of going in and out of the hospital she died in the evening due to lung cancer. After she passed away we took over her house and made it into a vacation home. We took on extra house payments and duties. The whole next summer we had to go to her house and clean her house out and sell stuff we didn’t need. We didn’t really have time to go out and swim or have fun because we had to clean and get the house fixed up. While we were cleaning the house up my father took the passing very rough. My great aunt tini was like my dad’s mother. She practically raised him and helped him through life. My dad went into depression shortly before my aunt died. Even though my mom and I knew he was in depression he did his best to deny it and not show it.  The depression my father was in is what started our family’s bad luck dilemma right after the summer of us cleaning the house out.

My Familys Life

My family’s life

It all started a couple years ago when my family started to have bad luck. It all started when my brother went to jail for being messed up on illegal substances. After that night he and his girlfriend started arguing and not getting along. His 3 children saw everything that went on in that house. They watched their dad get arrested, their parents fight and argue even there dad getting his stuff thrown outside. The oldest child Brittany was about 8 when this all started. Now she is 12 years old and is traumatized. Brittany is afraid to be a kid afraid to even say what’s on her mind. Brittany is the child that seen everything and remembers everything. Kelsea was about 5 years old when this was going on. She doesn’t really remember the past but she knows her parents argue. She will sit with me and talk to me and say very shyly my parents argue a lot there always yelling at each other. When I hear this come from a child I get really startled. I don’t know how to react to this or what to say to my little niece. There youngest child kaliegh who was only 2 at the time doesn’t remember much but she shows what she sees. Kaliegh goes around the house acting like different animals biting, yelling and screaming acting out everything she seen her parents do. When I see these kids I wish I can take them and adopt them I wish I can save them while there still young. I wish they could be stronger and know that there are people out there that love them and that will always be there for them, People like me.
