How I spent my summer vacation 2008
My summer started off strong with my sister graduating and a trip to Florida. About a week later I found out how my summer was really going to be. I was dumped by a guy that I am better than and he dumped me because I didn't trust him and it caused so much drama between us. Next thing I find out is that all my accusations about him were true and he had been lying to me since day one.
Also during this time I found out my aunt by marriage was a coke head neglecting her children, and then she got a restraining order against my uncle who is by far one of the best men around, accusing him of rape and alcoholism. The real reason for the restraining order though was that he had asked her to take a drug test, but she knew she couldn't pass. She had also spent all of the money they had on drugs, so my uncle had been working two jobs in order to make ends meet. She was also cheating, at first with a friends son and then with her old boss. I love my uncle more than most other people because I know what a genuinely good man he is, it really isn't fair he had to go through it. He is now living with my other uncle and gets the kids a few days each week, but he can't be around when she picks them up, and their divorce and custody hearing isn't until October.
Next I found out that my cousins father, who I've known since I was like 12 or something is in the beginning stages of Parkinson's, and his nephew, who is just old enough for his voice to have started changing has Lyme disease, and need to use a cane to walk.
I worked a job I was embarrassed by and absolutely hated with people that for the most part I couldn't stand.
My mom threatened to just up and leave
I was rejected by a guy I wasn't even trying to get.
I have about five friends, all of whom have ditched me at least once this summer, a summer where I have never felt more alone. I get that other people have lives, but I really needed everyone to be there for me.
Most recently I over drew my bank account by about $180, and I know I'm not going to be able to afford my books once the semester starts.
Just today I got in my first car accident. It wasn't my fault. I didn't get hurt. It was the scariest thing ever though. I'm still jumpy and it happened almost two hours ago. Oh, and of course me being the genius that I am, didn't remember to bring her license to the gym.
I'm dreading going back to school because I hate one of my majors, and I probably would have dropped it if it weren't for my internship.
I'm pretty sure I haven't been as depressed as I was this summer in a really long fucking time. It sucks, mostly because I feel incredibly pathetic for being so sad.
I know I sound whiney, but at this point I really just am wondering when things are going to start getting better for me and for my family. I can't wait until the summer is over, but who knows if the school year will be any better.
