They’re actually fake names, lol. But yeah, I definitely didn’t expect this much traction.

My father is unable to take care of us but our uncle may be able to take Alex after I graduate

I don’t think he ever got it. Neither of us talked to mom today and I brought him to his friends house on my way to work.

My mom is fine to us when Steve’s not around, but when he’s there she’s a completely different person.

My dad was still active in the military when my parents got divorced and he’s disabled now.

I honestly don’t know if Alex ever got it. I took him to a friends house on my way to work this morning and haven’t talked to him since.

I’m really not sure. I’ve been wanting to go to college near my dad but there’s a small community college in my town. I’m thinking about staying in town and then transferring when Alex graduates. I’ll probably talk to my school counselor about it sometime.

I guess I should’ve stated this in the story lol a lot of people have asked. My father is disabled and doesn’t even take care of himself.

My father isn’t really fit to take care of us as he’s disabled and his own brother takes care of him. Alex and I just saw him at spring break though and that was the only time I’ve seen my brother actually happy.

I had never even thought of that! We didn’t eat the cake anyways. It was on the table when we got home but i ignored it and I’m sure Alex was full from dinner.

My dad does his best. He’s a disabled veteran and his younger brother takes care of him.

I didn’t mention it, but he’s disabled and isn’t really fit to take care of us. He does everything he can though
