I never felt like I really belonged here or that I was really home, so I just want to leave. I can't because I need to take care of my dad, whose kidney failure makes him unable to take care of himself and I was taking care of my mom until about three weeks ago when she died from complications of alzhiemer's, and because everyone else is estranged or lives far away, or just doesn't give a shit, there's no one else to help.

I'm going to finish my education, at least a bachelor's degree here, and then I don't know what I'm going to do. I hope to get very far away very fast.
woah, I'm sorry to here that about your mom man. And now your taking care of your dad. You're not just somedude, You're a pretty great son, if you ask me.
