Dear Mother,

I know it took me some time to find a job, but there are days when I feel like you aren't trying and you do not do anything but consume our food. Now we quite literally have nothing except for things that will make you vomit if you eat them. I have been living off beans for two weeks. That can not be good for my insides. My dad and I worked just fine living with two people and well you are a third wheel. You can not simply abuse my father because he is a nice man, I am not going to stand for it any more. (of course the irony in this is how emotionally distraught you will get when I bring it up, and how my dad will come to your defense. I feel like Cassandra and you are Helen except just vain, not that beautiful)

You have sucked down all of his change that I use for bus fair when I am desperate. Do you realize how embarrassing and time consuming it is to drop 175 pennies into the bus? You used it to buy Soda's instead of using it for bus fair to find a job. Sodas because we were out of sugar. That you drank. We can not change our diet needs for you. I can not eat fucking spaghetti all the damn time. I rarely pray because I believe God, helps those who helps themselves. If you do not earn it you do not deserve it, however I am praying that you will get a 3rd shift job. It will be better for all of us if you can sleep during the day while my dad is at work and not consume our food. Go to work at night and my dad and I will be a sleep. Look it saves power and food. Ohoho to have a 30 dollar power bill again.

I will have you know in the wake of the funeral last saturday I have been thinking about what I would say at yours. Honestly there is only one quote that keeps me smiling when you see your failures. “A woman may have 1000 daughters but a daughter only has one mother.” You are my one mother, and if it gets you out of my hair I want wants best for you, so I hope that the angels receiving the prayer emails will deliver you a chance at a job.

sincerely your starving malnutritional daughter you do not take care of because she is taking care of you.
