My life in a thread

this goes over a 5 year period.

Year 1: My mom went with her friends to Alta to ski, she ended up breaking her leg. (shattered kneecap.) when she finally came home after what felt like weeks she had a huge cast and no personality. She was dull and bland. For the next 2 years of recovery, she spent 90% of the time on our couch downstairs. Unsurprisingly ending up with depression. She was in pain 24/7 and had 6 surgeries. money was tight and we were all sad. The hardest part for me was finding out that she had been smoking as a stress relief. that being said, it was the hardest year for me. the next 4 go up and down.

Year 2: My mom still on the couch and unable to do much, my dad stepped in. he took over the family and became both mom and dad. he still is today and we're working to change that. Mom took a job as a teacher at the YRP (York river project) and taught at the elementary school near by. She missed a couple days and finally said that it was it. She went to PT and that helped her out a lot. Not as bad as year 1, this concludes that year.

Year 3: This was the best year probably for me and my family, but also the worst. My friends and I were tight and helped me out a ton, and my mom was noticeably doing better. Until one night. That night none of us will ever forget. My mom had become an Alcoholic by that point and was a disgrace to me. So she went upstairs, cried a little, had a couple beers and od'd on sleeping pills. She locked herself in the bathroom and jammed the door shut. my dad ended up breaking in the door and taking her to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. Luckily she is still alive and well. Recap: I had been doing better in school and home, my mom was doing worse.

Year 4: This is when things even out for us. My mom had been doing alright, graduated from pt and her leg was fine. Over the year i got worried about everything that happend and didn't want to do much. My grades plummeted from A's to B's to C's to D's. about new years or around there i noticed my brother (Jamie, 1337.) wasn't going to school and was in his room the whole time. later i was told he had depression. so thats 2 people in my house with depression and even more on my dad. At about april one of my best friends step dad died because of a drunk driver hit him head on 2 days before his wedding to his mom. That was terrible and I was there for him. That made me relise that i have to be there for my mom and brother. then, i got depression and anxiety. Along with that came my girl friend dumping me, suicidal thoughts and a sh*t load of trouble.

Year 5: This was the wrap-up year for us. So the year started with me missing half the year of school and working on getting back. Also Jamie got a job, and went back to school. As he cleared up, so did my mom. Her psychiatrist helped her and all of us. Basically everyone in our family has one. (grand total of 7 I think.) after I went back to school and picked my grades up, I was feeling a lot better. ( All B's and A's)

Thanks: I want to thank my dad, Jamie, All of NS, grandparrents, and anyone whose been there.
