The only time I saw my mother was when she was getting ready for her next job. She would take off her makeup and perfume, put on sweatpants and a t-shirt, and go back to bed. Sometimes she would make me come into the room so she could stare at me while she slept. The most disturbing part of this whole experience is that I couldn't do anything about it. I was just a tiny child trapped in my own home with an unpredictable mother.
I have always tried to be perfect and get good grades because I know that's what mom wants for me. It takes her all day to prepare herself, but it only takes her 5 seconds to ruin everything. This is not the life anyone deserves to live, especially children. There are nights when she doesn't come home at all. She leaves me with my dad who always looks so sad.
I'm scared that mom will never change and I'll be stuck with this forever. My dad has told me that he's trying to get help for her but it's hard because she won't listen or cooperate. The worst part is seeing my friends at school every day, knowing that they have two parents who love them. They don't know how lucky they are. I wish someone could do something about this situation before it gets any worse.
