Some parents have lots of things to deal with and that can take a whole lot of time. Unfortunately the hand you have been dealt is to have to grow up in that environment. That is something YOU'LL have to deal with and that may take a whole lot of time (depending on you). It doesn't sound like you are going to get that "freeby" in regards to schooling. Have you checked out the public schools - they're free? Lots of community colleges have courses and programs that the gov't will pay for. Have you checked that out? There are business development programs that offer grants and loans, check them out. Help is available. You may just have to do the 'wenting"! "As they went they were healed."

Let your parents figure things out for themselves and thank them for the things they were there for you for. Remember, "Honour your parents?" But you go on with the Lord. Everybody has to do that at some point in their lives where they face the facts, accept their reality, and make their move. Some, unfortunately, turn to depression and the dumps and the "what's the use syndrome" and then live out a deathstyle of their own - not a good idea.

Did you lose any weight over the "no food in the fridge" or is the freezer full and your're just a bit down right now focussing on what's not in the fridge. My kids have done that to me. They want easy food and don't want to go to the trouble to thaw something out or peel a potatoe. The fridge in our home gets low by the time grocery day roles around, but it is always full again by the end of the day. Is that the case with you?

It's unfortunate that you have had to grow up in the turmoil of your parents circumstances and conditions. I hope and pray that they will get those things resolved some day. In the meantime you do your own wenting. Press search on your search engine and go for it. "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you."
