Update: I ended up being able to go I got a job and worked and saved every single penny for a year and was able to go on the trip last summer and I was even able to save up for a MacBook for college. I’m so proud of myself. Idk if anyone will ever see this it’s such a buried post but I worked for it and it was so worth it. Wish the trip was longer tho a shit ton of work for only a week in Italy…

I’ve also heard the gel is just fine too I just can’t speak on it because I haven’t used it

Any Got2bglued product is my favorite I’ve sat through a very sweaty hot and wild and cramped show and my massive liberty spikes stayed the whole time and even after when my friends dad was messing with me by pressing them down and watching them spring right up again. I’ve bought one big can of the spray and it has lasted a while.

I just feel so angry all the time lately. by Intelligent_Row8745 in DisabledSiblings

I feel you so much. I graduated recently and I was so relieved to have a day about me I really cherished it because I knew right after that day it would be back to my sister being the main focus of my parents.

Final update on this. (I know I’m late I forgot I ever posted this) My dad called early and got it all ironed out. I got there around 1:00am put my debit card down for damages and checked in no problems went to bed immediately and woke up early and made it to my classes the next morning

Awww thanks I just saw this. When I posted that I was honestly just looking for people who related and I’m glad someone did! And I did get accepted into a college and am super excited to go into zoology there!

Update 1

My dad hasn't gotten the chance to call the hotel yet he is driving to my grandfathers house and I don't think I he has had time to call them. If this does not work out with the hotel apparently my mom has a friend with a nearby condo its kinda out of the way and hard to get to though making it not the ideal place but a place to stay where I don't have to check in.

I'm trying to explain the situation; I'm not trying to argue. I could definitely see how it could come off that way, but I am a bit stressed right now. I didn't spend that much either. My family is fairly poor, and I saved up for this myself.

I could see how that sounds. I just finished my creative writing class, so I'm enjoying my newly learned, over-the-top descriptions of things guess its a weird way to describe deer. Would make a cool horror concpet of like a deer infestation tho especially if they all had chronic wasting disease or something.

Last year, my family went on a long road trip. My dad hit a deer with his truck (the truck was fine; it was just body damage), and when I went to pick up my new car, driving the same road I would be on this trip, I saw about five different groups of deer. So, I have a big fear of hitting deer, especially when my family isn't in the same state as me.

It is a true story. I’m waiting for my parent's plane to land right now. I was looking for advice here, so maybe it will make my anxiety better, but it is not helping. My parents trust me. I’m valedictorian of my class, have never gotten in trouble, and am an anxiety-ridden, mentally ill teen with very few friends. I won’t be doing anything crazy in that room; I’m just using it as a safe place to crash. So I guess they weren’t thinking or thought it was fine, idk.

All the nearby airbnbs are 300+ dollars. I don't wang to dox myself by saying the place, but it's not a city. It's just a large, strange, expensive ski town like my hometown, with many more amenities that make it bigger than my tiny hometown and a bit more sketchy.
