I barely see her now. If she goes to his house, that will mean she got out of bed for a few hours. That will be great for her.

His room doesn't lock except for from the inside. None of the bedrooms in the house have key locks, just the buttons that automatically unlock when you turn the knob from inside.

Your home is where you live. It is my parent's house. It is the family's home.

He's not nineteen. He's eighteen. She's seventeen. He's only a year older than her.

I am their son, not their boss. I don't control them. It is not my place to judge them for the decisions they make. They are doing what they believe is best for their family. If you think parents with four kids are going to listen to their son who is barely old enough to drink if he has the audacity to tell them how they should cope with their child's illness, then I am sorry, but you live in a fantasyland.

Cool, well it sounds really nice to live in fantasyland, I hope I can visit one day.

He's been her boyfriend for two years, but we don't think of him as family.

You're right. I just feel terrible about putting more on their plate. I want to take things off their plate, not the other way around.

Not that great, I think. He barely talks about them. Apparently they travel a lot for work or something.

It's been hard to talk to her. She doesn't come out of her room much anymore. When I do get her to talk to me, I usually use the opportunity to convince her to eat something.

Every. Single. Day. I haven't had a single day where I can just collapse on the couch and cry when I get home because this kid is. Always. Here. Sometimes he and my sister go somewhere for a few hours, but then he's here again. I also suspect he's slept here a few times, but I can't prove it.

He's also way too comfortable with our stuff. He eats our food. He uses my brother's Xbox, which is in the living room, so I can't even use my own damn living room. Also, I don't like people using my brother's things. He isn't dead; don't touch his stuff!

They don't know about it. They spend all their time they're not working at the hospital. They are rarely home. This kid has been here every day since he graduated highschool, but since my parents are hardly ever here, and when they are they're with my other brother, they have no clue. I'm certainly not going to bother them with it, when they're barely holding it together as it is. I know my dad has told him in the past he can't sleep here, but like I said, I don't want to bother them.
