i have terrible seperation issues with my dad. i just visited him for 2 weeks and came home to an empty house (my moms in NY trying to get money for stuff her mom agve to her in her will). for three days i hung out alone at home tryiong my best to destroy the flea infestation that magically appeared while i was gone. i keep thinkning about my dad and crying myself to sleep (dramatic, sorry). anyway, im looking forward to my mom coming home so we can get some food and hopfully have some extra money to pay rent (did pay this or last moneth, no money). she gets here and so does my brother. not only did my mom get no money to buy food, she didnt get money to pay rent. on top of that my brother is seriously emotionally crippled and i had to listen to him argue with my mom (as usual) all night because she said something about tomorrow and he went off with "tomorrow isnt real, there is only now and even now is just a thought and you dont need thoughts-"on and on, he's insane (really upset me when he told me i should "just give up on this whole saving animals thing").
moving on-
today i was really happy because i was planning for an animal rights club at school. i was holding my rat, Nudger, and remembered somehting about mammary tumors. "oh yeah" i thought, "female rats get mammary tumors if they dont get pregnant!" i went a did some research on mammary tumors. this is what i learned:
if they're malignant, they'll kill the rat. if it's begnin, it'll grow to the size of the rat and the rat will be unable to move. at that point the rat needs to be euthanized. the only way to prevent this is:
A] remove the tumor (there's a high chance it'll grow back)
B] get the rat fixed
i wasnt worried, i thought "hey, ill just get my girls fixed, no problem!".
i call up the vet and she says it'll be $50 for an appointment, she said i HAD to make an appointment for EACH rat, or else i could not have them fixed. she then informed me that it'll cost $170 for the surgery.... per rat.
i have three wonderful rats, so that adds up to $660.
then, my mom came in and told me we'er are going to be evicted. and we have no where else to go. we cannot move in with her old boyfriend because i havbe a restraing order against him, and i cant move into my friends house, while she lives wiht him, becaudse my dad will immediatly fight for custody over me.
as much as i love my dad and would actually love to live wiht him; there're no schools near him and ive been here for 6 hears and have the two best friends i could possibly have. i cant leave them, i just cant.
ok, uhm, im sorry. no one actually has to read this. i just wanted to let it out. thank you
