One step forward, 2 steps back

Steve's sister Tina called here asking me to have Steve call her (pathetic bitch has no long-distance service so she can't call his cell phone). After they talked, he called me saying that she told him that she can't pay off what's remaining of their grandfather's funeral costs. He died like 4 years ago and many things have happened since then; Tina bought a house and had a baby, while Steve and I are still stuck in virtually the same rut we've been in for years. We have not acquired debts, had babies, or made a big purchase like a house. Our reward... to get stuck with Tina's debt. Steve paid off his grandfather's credit card a year after his grandfather's death. That was his end of the deal. Now that Tina fell through on her end, we have to pick up the pieces.

Steve also said Tina was saying she wants to quit her job and go on unemployment. She told him she wants to move to Florida. I was like, "Oh really... Good for her." I wish she would move the hell away from us for real. Apparently she didn't go to work today because she called him from home. Here we fuckin go again.

I'm sick of his sisters doing this to us and Steve just going along with it because he feels obligated. When do we get to move ahead? It feels like it will always be this way. I am sick of disappointment. Sick of waiting. When 10 years of this turns into 20 years, will I finally walk away from it or will I just hang myself?

To make matters worse...two weeks ago, I made $140 doing ... stuff. I know, I know, I am a terrible person and I should get a real job. Blah blah fucking blah. Look, just blow me, ok?? God knows it's my turn. Anyway, Steve calls me the next day saying he got a $150 ticket for not having his logbook current. Is this what they call karma or just awful fuckin luck or what?? Shit like that makes me say to myself, "Why do I fuckin bother at all?"
