You know things are rough when MY mother shows sympathy.  She told me that she's sending Niki's graduation card early so that she can get her money now.  How is this sympathetic?  Well, Niki's mom is throwing her a graduation party.  Right after her mother's wedding.  When no one will have any money left to give to her.  What.  The.  Hell?!  If no one realizes there will be a party a thousand years from now (the wedding's not for a month, and who KNOWS how many times this will be rescheduled after seeing what happened to her birthday party), maybe they'll just send her money in the mail too.

Me and my mom were talking about how much Aunt Sandy (Niki's mom) has changed since getting divorced and finding a new bo.  It's like she's reverted back into her teenage years and forgotten everything about her present life and responsibilities.  Especially her children.  She doesn't seem to care about anyone but herself and Brandon anymore.  Sometimes her friends.  Occasionally Chris.  Since Niki moved in with her dad to get away from that attitude and Chris's torture, her mom seems to have completely forgotten that she has a daughter except when Niki contacts her.  And even then she doesn't seem to care.  It really pisses me off.  Niki's been going through some tough shit for YEARS and now her mom has decided to just stop being a mom?  NOT OKAY.  SHE NEEDS YOUR FUCKING SUPPORT RIGHT NOW.  I think I may just have a talk with her about this.

I told my mom the teenage bit, and apparently Aunt Sandy was a "selfish little snot" when she was a teenager.  So, perhaps that could be the reason for her recent selfish behavior.  Who knows?  I'm just glad Niki's getting some money now.  Maybe now she can get a camera and do funny vlogs.  XD

Yet another fight with my mom.  I'm going to Cameron's tomorrow to escape and hopefully find enough comfort to smile again.  Hopefully I can peep hang with Niki on Friday too.  Return her precious NANA, which I finished tonight, and bring those presents.

I've decided against the goats' milk.   I have to save up to get out of here as soon as is humanly possible.  And I don't want to give Cameron more stress by taking me to pick it up every week.  He'll have enough to deal with when he moves back in with his parents.  And now they don't "support his entrepreneurship" because they want school to be his main focus.  

I am so fucking sick and tired of them trying to tell him that he can only do one thing at a time.  He can do PLENTY of things at one time with no stress as long as they leave him the fuck alone.  He's had a job while going to school for YEARS even while putting up with their shit all the time.  His parents are such a glass ceiling, but they think that all he accomplishes should be accredited to them.  What a load of bullshit.  They only thing they've done is made him sick and unhappy.  The things they consider his accomplishments were just his way of trying to shut them up, or just get the hell out of the house.  All that family does is try to outdo and impress each other.  All Cameron wants is to make them care about him like parents are supposed to.  They treat their children like trophy-wives. 

I still don't know how to teach him to be happy.  I haven't quite figured it out myself.
