so ive been caring for my 86 yr father since my mom died 3 years ago, the house was filthy, i even broke out in open sores. ive removed all the wallpaper and painted, changed the carpets out, everything to get this house and yard to where it looks good again.. were talking 2200 sq ft of house on 1/4 acre corner lot. so i get sick, need an operation to get my overys removed and my dad kicks me out, cancels my creit card and begins a smear campain of ‘your running me in the poor house’ even though i do pay my card. so now that ive proven that to people, he claims i left the house open one day and he found a cat in the spare room, im like, ok,hold up.. when the hell did i wake up in the twilight zone, thats shows cancled.. so my loving family, who rallied around my nefews cancer, they all giving me cold shoulder, and im not even looking for sympathy, im looking not to get kicked to the curb without a dime to my name after all i put into getting this house repaired! and oh yeah, it would be really cool if just ONE person called me to ask how im doing, but yeah right…
why the hell am i busting my ass if im gonna get tossed out with nothing? i gave up my home and section8 with the intention i would care for dad and the house, when he passes, my sister and i split the house. he can still drive ( barely) and far as i know been taking care of the bills, but OMG, really? i get cancer and kicked out? im not even bad as most is it so much to want to know that im not being set up? had i known anything like this was possible, i never would have given up my section8 that i cant get back,im 44, i dont mind hard work but not if im not getting paid and will be tossed out with nothing in the end here, i cannot belive that my sister, whos son has cancer ( hes really bad though, im nowhere near his) can be so compassionate yet so heartless and cruel at the same time.. i dont knwo what to do, im so stuck, im too weak to look for work elsewhere right now, im waiting on stupid medical to decide i need this surgery before it spreads in my body,and my own family is shunning me.. im so stuck, ive never been in a position like this.. sleep? oh sure, in between friends couches and scary hooker hotels. food? i have eaten a total of a burger in the past week.im not hungry thats good. ive lost weight.i guess thats my bright side, ive lost weight… damn!! people can be this cold.

Nice article. I really agree with getting enough sleep but i think that people should do this without the use of prescription drugs, there are many alternatives in the market today. I like pzizz, it’s sound that helps you relax and sleep and it’s always different so you don’t end up getting bored with birds or water sounds day after day. you can check it out on http://www.pzizz.com
