So... let's talk?

I've written countless stories and scripts about young men trying to find their ways in life. They have all had absent fathers and no siblings. Mothers who are self absorbed and corrupt (To any extent) figures of authority are the role models. These writings mirror my life: My father is barely around. My mother couldn't care less about me (at the moment I'm living with my brother) oh and the sibling thing... I've never had great relationship with any 6 of them. The only people I truly look up to are looked at as "badasses" and so on. I guess all of my writings are me attempting to find cool ways that I could escape. Perhaps if I had superpowers, or tons of money, or if I had the means to just be able to give everything up and leave. I was just looking if anybody else could relate to any extent. It sucks being in a situation like this.

No, I can't relate to your life or situation beyond imagining the difficulty. Congratulations on getting this far without superpowers or tons of money! I hope you'll hang in there...or somewhere. And please keep writing.

In truth, I can't say that I feel your pain either, but my two adopted brothers have. Before they joined my family, their dad wasn't around, their mother was a younger mom with 3 other children already, and goodness only knows where life would have taken them (likely prison). But just keep your head up and for the love of all things merciful keep writing. In the words of Sandara Cisneros, "it will keep you free." Thanks for sharing and best of luck :))
