Going To School With Mom?

I've never really been one to judge what someone can and can't do. yesterday i helped my mom enroll in college. it's just community college, nothing big, but she's all excited about it. in a way i am just as excited for her, she can finally escape the clutches of my evil uncle and do what she wants to. but in a way i am angry and mad.

i know this sounds selfish but if she goes we wont have hardly any money, and then MY college could possibly suffer from it. i am afriad that if she gets homework she doesnt understand she will start asking ME for help. and i dont know everything and i have college and homework and things i have to do on my own and if i'm always helping my mom then how can i look out for myself?

my mom has been saying she was going to get a different job. you see, she works for my uncle david who pays her and my dad like shit and pays himself alot, which is retarded because he cant hardly afford his own house and he would rather live on the river by doctors and lawyers than live in a respectable house and give his daughters things they need, like decent haircuts, and shoes, and clothes that fit, but to put things short he's a dumbass and overworks my mom and doesnt realize how stressed he makes my mom and how much he's single-handedly pulling my family apart. my parents have talked of divorce because my dad wont put up with davids shittyness. now the company my mom works for is only open until 5:30, and with three to four hours of class that just doesnt cut it for our financial situation, especially with me and my mom going to college, but she wont quit her current job like she is supposed to and get a better job, say at JC Penny or something where she can work nights/ in the afternoon.

i dont think my mom understands how hard its going to be for the entire family from her going to college.

but dont get me wrong, im really happy for my mom, she's been happier than she has in a long time, i just want her to succeed in life but part of me thinks its just not the right time. but who knows, i must have gotten my determination from someone in my family.

until later...
