What am I to do? Please help me!
Time- 3:37AM
I have just been informed that I am to live with my grandparents when both of my parents deploy at the SAME TIME between April or May of next year. This is not some joke, it is true and I will still be going to Ellison. My grandparents live very close to Shoemaker and Iduma Elementary school. But I am still, and I repeat again STILL going to be at Ellison till I graduate. One major problem, besides me, I have two other brothers, (Tanin- 17) & (Xanthus- 4). I've been told that I am to be the guardian of him and to take care of him while my parents are gone to Iraq. They said I will be paid for watching him, and basically act like his mother, might as well adopt him @.@ Ive pretty much taken care of him his whole entire life. My mom has always been deployed and missed two of his birthdays, and she usually is never home till 5:30pm when she isn't deployed. My dad is used to being a stay at home dad, but we are having serious money issue so he is joining the Army full time and being stationed to my mom's battalion. My dad is scheduled to go to basic training either next week or the week after that. The time my dad should come back home would be hopefully Februrary or March-ish. But then he leaves again between April and May with my mom. So I turn 17 on May 2nd, 2009, and my brother Tanin turns 18. My brother is aloud to stay at our house and watch it, ALONE, while I have to watch Xanthus and be a mother, while dealing with school, Commanding color guard, and other stuff that might come up. >.<
My parents do not care about my feelings and how I am NOT ready to take care of a 4 year old child by myself. They are FORCING me to live with my grandparents and I have no saying in that too. I can't take all this pressure of a child, I am just so over whelmed with everything that I started to cry when my mom and dad were telling me and Tanin this when we came home. I have a feeling I will be crying later tonight because I'm really scared. I've always been without my mom for more than half of my life. My step-father has always been there for me and I don't think I could last taking care of my brother.
: To be continued....
