Confessions of a fucked up family

A Poem by incurableangel

Warning: Has swear words in it

Most kids get really upset when their parents fight, I never did, I don't know if it's because I was just used to it or if it was because I wanted him gone so badly that I didn't care how it was done. although it never happened, he never left. sometimes he would leave for a couple of hours but he'd always come back. even when she'd try and kick him out he would throw a tantrum, the police would come and take him then he'd be back the next day. his overly intoxicated mind is too stupid to comprehend the fact that no one wants him here or maybe he just doesn't care. haveing him around did wonders for my hiding skills. always having to hide my money and jewellery from him in fear of it being stolen forced me to think of some fairly creative places.it doesn't look like he's leaving anytime soon but after years of this, I've learned to live with it. The thing I can't deal with though is these dumb rich f***s at my school telling me that I have first world problems when I've been through more s**t than they ever have. the only other thing I hate is not being able to tell anyone, its a real burden although a couple of months ago I found someone I can really trust and I told that person everything. I really hope we stay friends, it has been really nice to have someone to talk to.

But besides those to things I literally just tune him out, he's a deadbeat anyway. I just put my headphones in and ignore it.
