So I'm sure all of you know by now that Colleen, right now, is in a receiving home.
But she wants me to tell you why.
Her whole live, Colleen has been older than she is. Since she was little, she has taken care of her little brother and sister.
See, the woman, who should have been responsible for all of this, was always too inbrehaited to take care of HER own children.
I've watched this since fourth grade. I've SEEN with my own eyes, her mother get violently drunk, hit her children, her significant other. I have gotten many phone calls in the night from a scared and hurt, and crying Colleen. I've watched with a broken heart, my bestfriend, my other half, get worn down by her irresponsible and drunk mother.
For a while, her mother sobered up. And things were alright. But then my uncle got sick, and Denise volunteered to take care of him. When his cancer grew fatal, she stayed at his house and took care of him. And when he finally put a gun to his head to stop his own misery, denise was the one to find him.
After that, she picked up the bottle again. This time, drinking and driving, verbally assaulting Colleen. Breaking a promise she had made to her, she forced Colleen to switch highschools, leaving me without my other half. It was extremely hard on the both of us.
As her drinking got heavier and heavier, she started getting meaner and meaner.
She would completely run Colleen into the ground, make her feel like complete shit. Soon her boyfriend started drinking and joining in. Colleen was their scapegoat. Me and Colleen had been talking about her just moving out and living with me, since she basically did on the weekends.
And then, without very much suprise, her mother tried to take her away from me, too. Claiming that Colleen grew "hostile" when she came back from Sacramento, that my mother gave us too much freedom.
Her mother is barely sober enough to have feelings. She's too drunk to realize the things she says to her own DAUGHTER, are killing her.
Well, as of a few nights ago, Colleen refused to go home because her mother was intoxicated (suprise surpise) and was trying to start a fight with her. I sat, and listened to the phone conversation. I watched her BEG her mom to stop making her feel like shit, that it was killing her.
and her mom didn't care.
when she finally did return home that weekend, her mothers boyfriend hit her. In the face. For no reason.
A grown man, not even her step father, laid a FUCKING hand on her.
Since then, her mother was arrested for being habitually drunk in front of her children and child neglect.
Hence, why Colleen is in a recieving home.
But theres more now. Her mom has found her livejournal, and has been reading her private enteries. So I'm here, to tell her a few things, from both Colleen and me.
How dare you even call yourself a fucking mother. You are the most selfish, uncaring, waste of human being I have ever met. You can't even sober up enough to look around and realize what a great kid you have. What great KIDS you have. I get sick when you are even brought up to me, and it kills me everytime you look at me, makes me sick.
Life isn't all about you, and it's sad that a sixteen year old girl has had to take on your responsibilities because you can't put down the beer bottle for just a few fucking days.
And now, you let a man put his hands on her for doing nothing. NOTHING but try to escape the shit that you fucking put her through. I can say, that without a doubt, you are one of the worst parents in history.
You want to know why Colleen comes back from my house "hostile"? Because my mother treats her like a human being, like her own daughter. And then Colleen has to go back to you, and your hateful words and your embarressing drunkness.
Well guess what. I will fight to my fucking death to see that she never has to live with you again. Because I'd rather die than see Colleen hurting the way she does when she is home. I bet you don't care, as long as you don't have a bad image. My family cares and loves more for Colleen than you will ever even know.
so that's all I have to say at the moment, but Colleen also left you a little message
"mom, you are a fucking cunt"
Toodaloo
