I forgot to update.
6 years ago
Wow.. a year. I completely forgot to update my situation.
I mean, I went quiet after first saying I lost my home and then my mom. So I'll drop some good news this time.
So, good news!
I managed to find an apartment earlier this year and is now living in a tiny town by myself. I guess I'm doing well, just bored most days. :) Slowly getting into the grove of things. I really want to thank Zid for letting me stay at his place during the time I was homeless, best doggie ever! I also want to thank everyone that gave me moral support during everything.
Warning, do not read further unless you want hear about my cringey family. :P
Not sure why I wanted to share this but here's a little story about the funeral:
At first I couldn't get hold of my step-father and my younger brother, so didn't even know if there were going to be a funeral. So I was about to take care of it myself with the help of my aunt (mom's side). While we were in the middle of the planning my real father noticed a funeral ad in the newspaper and contacted me about it. So my step-father had taken care of it but not told me or my aunt. Anyways, I showed up on the day and the first comment I hear is "Oh, so you showed up?" and I thought this was quite funny after everything that happened. Fast forward through most of the ceremony, the priest mentions the family that's been left behind.. my brother, step-father and sister (sister left the family completely a few years back and changed her name), aunt and uncle.. but not me. The aunt (step-father's side) came up to me after the ceremony and said "I'm sorry, the priest was supposed to mention you too.", I just raised my eyebrows at her as every single banner, flower arrangement, invitation card, etc had no mention of my name but had the rest of the family. So.., I'm pondering just leaving the families completely. :)
(My family arrangement has always been weird.. I'm the oldest of three kids on my mom's side, the youngest of two kids on my father's side and the only one born out of wedlock. My real father also had a family with someone else, so I have another two step-siblings there. From early teens I grew up with just my real father who wasn't really ever home until he kicked me out when I came of legal age since he couldn't handle my mental issues or because I told him I as gay, not sure on that one. Mom used to be a drug addict but was an awesome mom, at least to me, I couldn't live with her though as she spent most of my teens in rehab. Apparently my mom had also been diagnosed with autism and ADD, which I found out much later, so it's no wonder she understood me so well. Okay.. this explanation is way longer than intended and I could fill it with a lot more details..)

This sounds something straight out of a novel. I hope things continue to be more positive for you.

*chuckles* I have many stories like this about my family, could probably fill a book. :P To me, I think most of them are just funny somehow, just so unrealistic. But I know people that have it worse, so I often don't speak of my small earthly problems.

You probably COULD write a book! If edited the right way, it could be a very intriguing story for lots of readers. Maybe make something good out of something not so good?

I probably would need a ghost writer. :P My dyslexia makes it really hard to write anything long, I even writing an answer like this takes ages before I'm happy with it.
