ok just a quick sad bois hour tweet: i think the most crushing thing abt being poor (around 19k/yr after taxes) is that 1) i depend on my parents a lot, and 2) i really want money so i can support them and give them the financial help they deserve
like my mom especially... my dad was really bad with money, and she was impacted by that a LOT. and idk she just deserves to retire and live a comfortable life that isn't fucking in the middle of nowhere kentucky
it just makes me really sad that she hasn't been back home (hong kong) since she left 30+ years ago, and who knows when she'll be able to go back at this point.
she always wanted to travel and go on cruises, and a lot of the pressure is on me to spend that time w/ her because she doesn't really have close friends

and it just crushes me so much to know my dad's been traveling with his gf in the past couple years
like it's just so unfair to give someone 40+ years of your life, only for them to take all your money, and cheat on you and waste your life.

i just wish i could help my mom live the rest of her life happily and securely 😔
and also i have a lot of guilt b/c i personally get along better with my dad than my mom :/ and i just. idk it's hard. i really hate thinking about my family, because i don't trust my brother to take care of my mom when she gets older
and i can't take care of my mom b/c i don't have the money or time to.

i don't know who will take care of my brother when /he/ gets older b/c his gf is older and like. if she dies first, then who is left to take care of him? he can't drive and has never had a job
ANYWAY i'm sorry about this. i just needed to put it out somewhere. i can't talk about this with my family, and i don't want to force this on anyone 1-on-1.

my family stresses me out so much any time i think about them which is why i always repress the shit out of it LMAO
