I am so sick of trying to make things better for my family. I'm constantly told how my aunt works her ass off to support us and i appreciate that, because everyone else is too lazy to get a job.

Today my stereo broke. My one link to music during the day will not work. See, i have a portable, but i dont see the point in wasting batteries at home when i have something that plugs into the wall. So that pisses me off, and i admit that i went a little overboard with my ranting and said something about the mP3 player that i still do not have. And that really got to my aunt and i guess i made her feel like she was worthless because i guess it made her think that she wasn't doing a good enough job, which wasn't my intention at all.

It became this big thing because of that and then i ended up crying so much and im crying right now just thinking of it. I dont like to hurt people's feelings and apparently i really hurt my aunt's, and all i could think was how worthless i am if i can't even keep the peace in my house. My grandma later gave me a lecture about how i can never see past what i want and ill never know the struggle. I'm trying so hard to work out my flaws and i thought that i had been getting better but im obviously not. Like housework. I enjoy doing housework, sometimes. But apparently I'm the only one who knows how to do the laundry on a regular basis. And I've cooked the past two nights, and i think im going to cook tommorrow, but nobody realizes how different this is from how i was when i moved up here.

Also, apparently i take and take but i never give, yet they always tell me how im thirteen and that i shouldnt have to do that. I want to help so that some of the burden is taken off of my aunt, and i'm sure i can find some way to sell my art to help with that. But they won't let me because it is not my responsibility. And I can't just sit here and do nothing. All i do is clean, write, draw, clean, watch the occasional TV, clean, and cook. I never talk on the phone, and i havent been out of the house seriously in weeks. I devote myself to helping this house as much as i can, and i even make my grams bed in the morning, yet they dont even notice how much they make ME feel like crap. Tonight was my breaking point, and i just can't seem to stop.

I'm sorry this was so depressing, but i really thought i was getting secure and then comes this massive bout of oppression and unhappiness, leaving me feeling like SHIT.
