Wow, makes me sad, angry and happy at the same time.. Strange.

My ex (who i'm still good friends with) always felt she was more a part of a family when here, yet I felt that I wasn't that much a part of it, especially with dad (always felt he was dissapointed in me).. But then things like this make you cherish what you have I suppose.

But then I feel sad for my close friends who have nothing with their families at home. One of my best and closest friends gets abused everytime she gets in the door (or her mum/step dad come home), yet her closest group of friends got sick of it over time and pretty much ditched her, or accepted the fact that she wasn't treated right and let it go on normal. So she's left with no family (except her dad who truley loves her, but is 3 + hours away on disability), friends that don't treat her right (including a so called 'brother' that sexually abuses her) and no set outcome on life, as she all but gave up on trying in school/having a path in life as she was told she was stupid and worthless to do anything, everyday by her mum.. It's taken me months to even get her to open up things (stuff she's never told anyone), or even let me comfort her closely as she was afraid and uncomfortable with herself (she's one of the most beautiful girls i've ever seen, and she truely beleives she's ugly because of her mum, and ar sehole guys).. So it makes me sad and angry at some people that they wouldn't share this connection with their children..

Sorry about that.. just came out.. I've being having a very **** week, lol. And now not looking forward to the english exam tomorow either! heheh.

Truly tear jerking.

It makes me thankful that I have a father I love dearly, but also makes me commiserate for those who aren't lucky enough, for whatever reason, to have a father around.

Yeaah, well she just got kicked out of the house yesterday. Spent all day today moving things. The reason being, she told her mum she had plans for the night and wouldn't be home and her mum said it was fine (spent as much time away from home as she could).. So we were all at macca's having a good time before a night of drinks and poker when her mum rings, asking where she is. Usual argument stuff follows which i'm sure you can imagine, then comes the line "if you don't come home right now, you're not coming home at all", she said she couldn't get home right then (which is true), so her mum said have a nice life and hung up..
She's moving up with her dad in Heyfield after schoolies, but that's 3 hours away, and nothing in the way of jobs etc really, especially for the future career type stuff. And now I won't be able to see her much =( Which sucks bad, and hurts a LOT.

Strangely enough, i'm gonna miss school heaps. I enjoyed it this year (actually, I enjoyed most of school). A lot of stuff comes to me easily/naturally, so I basically did no work during the year (except compulsory work) and it was a mass socialising sorta thing. Now I won't see 90% of the people again, kinda bites.

But anywho, enough OT rambling!

PS. Sorry for the bad English skills, i'm tiiiired.
