Otherside
Seriously. I'm going to start a list of things that I'm not supposed to be pissed off about with that involve my sister that seem perfectly reasonable, but apparently isn't.
- I'm not supposed to be pissed off that she nicked money from me, several times, and used that money to buy a friends birthday present, go to wagamamas, and buy cigarettes, alchohol and weed. I couldn't give two hoots right now if she wants to smoke, drink or whatever. But for fucks sake, use your own money.
-I'm not supposed to pissed off that the money that she used to pay for an overpriced wagamama's meal was the only piece of cash I thought I had on me at one point, and I needed it to pay for a bus fare to get to uni. I then almost missed the bus because I had to make a run to the nearest cash point, stick my card in, and get cash out. And pray that I had enough in my account to do so. Because heres the think you don't seem to comprehend, little sister. I may have "more money" than you, but I'm pretty much paying for myself. That "more money" goes on my bills, travel fares, anything I need for uni, food. I don't get to go "Dad can I have some money?" and getr given it. I don't get a free ride living here. I don't get everything paid for. I have to provide that myself. I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem when the money goes missing. Especially at the end of the month, when I'm close to going into my overdraft (hey, did you know that costs me more money if that happens?)
- I'm not supposed to be pissed off that she can't even think "maybe today isn't about me, unlike every other day of the year, and maybe my prom dress problems can wait till another day, or at least, until my sister is home from a rather invasive procedure. Instead of calling Mum like the selfish little [BEEP] I am and demanding it be fixed this instant."
Also, apparently "I went through something similar" at her age. Gimme a break. I was dealing with suicidal depressions that landed me hospitals, manic episodes that were somewhat interesting, and at one point, a psychotic episode due to a drug interaction. I overdosed on a regular basis. The next person that tries to tell me that bipolar disorder is at all similiar to a being a stroppy teenager is going to get punched. (and no. She does not have bipolar. Not that that would excuse any of it. I do not, and never have, used my illness as an excuse for the way I behaved.)
