I'm in trouble deep... or you are...
My father made my mother cry the other day. I didn't like it. She said "fuck you!" and hung up on him and then I when I came in the room she said that she never wants to see him again. My parents have been divorced for 16 years now, and never before has there been a significant amount of animosity between them. It kind of sucks. But I'm lucky to have gone this long without the hatred that most children of divorced parents have to live with.
Oh my silly daddy- he doesn't realize that if he doesn't help with the college bill that I'll have to get a job on the weekends and he'll never see me! Stupid stupid stupid. He's so fucking stingy- not sting-y like "ow!" but stin-gee like "I can't! I need it! I'm homeless!"- and it pisses me off. He stopped paying child support when I turned 18, even though my mom thinks it's Maine law that he has to pay until I'm 21 because I'm a full time student. But she didn't mind at first because it was her understanding that him, being half my parental unit, would pay for half of my college tuition. But no! So she's gonna talk to a lawyer and see if we can get him to pay child support again and the weeks that he didn't pay since March should be enough to pay for first semester. Part of me feels bad for my father because he's just not very bright, but dude, I'm his only daughter- you'd think he'd want the best for me. And what if I'd gone to Yale??? His half would be twenty times the amount that it is right now. What was he expecting? To not pay anything and have my mother pay for an Ivy League school all by herself? Or did he expect me to help out and never ever see him, especially since I'd be in another state?
What the fuck.
I wanted to go see Evan, but I can't and now I'm sad.
