So, the males of your family have jobs. Really Sol, I think that's a very male thing to do, to find money to pay the bills and to cover other expenses. It seems your father and brother hold a lot more responsibility on their shoulders.
I think your father haven't forgotten about being a family. He just do what he has to do.
Yeah, Avon...anyone can do that actually if they have the talent to sell stuff.
Once in a while is better than none at all.
Sol, I think you have to trust your dad more. Trust your dad in his jobs and in his abilities. Perhaps, in that way, you're still a family, even if it can't be seen or felt physically.
You and your mother are different people. You're not her. You're an offspring of her, but she's gone out of your life, right? So, you can't consider her as a mother anymore. She's a stranger now. You're on your own as an individual at this present time.
You're not a waste like your mother, but it pains me to see much of your potential to be your very best is wasted to your pessimism.
You can pursue your best ideas and your best interests if you just try like most of us.
She's probably as gone as she gets for being right down the street, but it's hard to not think of her as such.
At this point I don't know how to not be pessimistic, or if I even want to. Seems that the more optimistic you are, the more you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.
I'm well aware of that. I'd just rather not waste my time with things that don't matter like she does. Like her parents did.
It'd just be nice for things to go right for once. Every time it looks like something is going to work out, it ends up awry. Like having a good dream and waking up to realize it's nothing but.

What about your father and brother?

At the least, your father is getting the money he need and in my humble opinion, it's the best he can do at being employed at this time.
By Avon, is your brother selling those things or buying?

I just miss doing things like we used to.
He's selling, amusingly enough. The twerp could probably sell ice cubes to Santa.

It seems you have trouble adapting to changes.

I just wish we were still like other families that spent time together and had fun more than once in a while.

It sound like you wanted to be optimistic without the guarantee of being disappointed every single time.
No one can tell you to be happy and no one can force you to smile, but if you noticed, your friends don't encourage you to stay sad all the time.
