castle walls

times like these i wish i had a mature figure to talk to.
i don't even know how to handle this.
and my little sister is looking to me to be the support.

my family is falling apart and she's stuck in the drivers seat of a plane she can't fly.

since like 2005 my dads been chasing this poisonous dream of an invention that's never going to take off.
He keeps pumping money into R&R and often he returns to Cambodia in hopes that someone will get him somewhere. His last trip was supposed to be his last trip. Then Facebook happened. He found relatives he didn't know he had.

And now, they're running him for a fool.
He's been going around my mother and talking to his "niece" and her "friends" that claim they can get the 'word" out on his product.
THERE'S NO FUCKING WORD TO GET OUT.

his project is just a hydrogen based energy converter. there is nothing that frolicking in cambodia is going to help.

my mom called him out on it. she said they're only gonna con him at the very least.

he wont listen.

she's taking my other sister and leaving to stay with her sister for a few weeks.

meanwhile my youngest sister is in the middle of senior year chaos. She's juggling 5 AP level courses and has to have at least 5 college apps and education plans mapped out by the end of the week.

but my mom isn't giving her options.Except try to talk your dad out of this and i wont leave.

thats some bullshit right there.

you already limit her, you wont let her get her license.
you won't let her get a job
you don't want her to go further than a 2 hour radius for college.

you weren't fair to me at that age, and 10 years later you aren't being fair to her.

i don't know what to do.
my hands are tied and i just don't know
