Good Luck Cain! Interested to hear which one you choose.
So, the day after the fucked up wedding (Fuck, I forgot to add those details. Gonna do that soon.), I find out that my cousin in San Diego fell out of a 3 story building with 3 of her friends while one or some of them were on Xanax or more. It made the news, and my aunt made up some bullshit excuses on the broadcast to justify her awful fucking parenting. She shattered her ankle, and I'm sure her friends did too.
A year or more ago (I don't really keep track, because I'm usually trying to forget about her.), my aunt decided to cheat on her husband through an online relationship with some musician in New Zealand, divorce her husband, and then run off to California with one of her daughters (The one that didn't really have a choice because of her age) to couch surf, have group sex in front of her daughter, and do all this without actual plans for jobs or careers in mind. She went from Middle-Class vegan housewife, to druggie teenager retard loser in a matter of weeks, and has mostly stayed that way for awhile now. And it's obviously having an effect on her daughter, my cousin, as can be seen by her constant abuse of drugs and amplified compulsive dishonesty. And now she's falling out of 3 story buildings on pills.
The thing is, I could easily set all of this straight if I had a bunch of money saved up. I'd plan a multi-stop camping/hiking trip that would last just a few weeks to a month, and bait her into it with hints at having a few simple drugs. What she'd found out is that she's actually going to be spending a lot of time outside, getting clean, and feeling better, spending time with her favorite cousin.
But I don't have the money saved up. So all I can do is watch her life turn into a fucking disaster while her mother fucks off and doesn't give a shit.
