Homeless Diary :: Papers

Mom and dad always seem to be fighting. They neer stop and its normally over something small and insignificant like what to watch on the television. Its really scratch to make me depressed and getting me down. Its even starting to affect my schoolwork. Not once have they asked me how I feel about something, its always well I dont want to do that or I do want do that never is it well Paul what do you want to do? My so-called mates arent any use. Theyve just stopped coming to my sign of the zodiac making the excuse that they dont feel comfortable about being there when my parents fight. Which you cant really blame them for, as I overly would be uncomfortable in the same situation. Ashley is taking it harder than me, she just cant handle the arguing, but which kid her age could. Shes only 9, how could they leave her locked in her room while they argued. I sometimes opine that we would be better off if we left. I dont know where we would go but its got to be better than where we are now. Maybe we could go and live with Aunt Jane, ok so she isnt all that better than our parents are now. But Im sure she would stop drinking if she had to start looking after Ash and me. Its starting to get worsened now they wont even talk to each other. They just both sit there and drink. They drink till the early hours if the morning. Then they dont get up for work early enough, and end up rushing. Then they take it out on us, so far its only been verbally, I dont know what I would do if either of them laid a finger on Ashley. I would just loose it I wouldnt be able to control myself. I love her too much for anything like that to happen to her. Id rather die then have my baby sister beaten about like some sort of animal. I dont know what to do anymore, dont know how much longer I can keep
