Am I being selfish?
I've been asking myself this question for a year now, and I honestly don't know the answer
When my parents separated because the situation was no longer bearable, I ended up with my mother and three other idiots I have for younger siblings. I've taken care of each of them since they were babies while I was a 9-year-old kid, I've seen them grow up and all that shit, it would be nice if it weren't for the fact that I practically had to learn to be a father. My father was drunk all day long, and my mother was always out of the house to avoid fighting with him, so she left the work to me
I'm almost 20 now, and I feel like I haven't really lived. My classmates go out to parties, have girlfriends, and seem to be okay with it. Meanwhile, I have to figure out how the hell to bring money home because one salary is no longer enough. All I want is to finish my accounting degree and find a job far away from here and never contact my family again, Because for the last 10 years, I've done nothing but put their needs before my own. I just want to get away from this lecture about how I have to do what my father couldn't and make this family work
I simply don't want to keep doing that anymore
