Today was the last straw. Your daughter had $500 stolen from her at school, because she has to take everything she owns of value to school with her. Why? Because if she left it at your house, her own family would steal it from her. She's 15, she deserves a room of her own - a bed of her own. Instead, she's forced to share a bed with you because you won't leave the 8 family members you share a house with. And you won't kick the one who doesn't pay any rent but gets his own 2 bedroom apartment out. Maybe you should be there but instead you just spend your money bailing his ass out when he gets arrested. And then having people steal that money from you. Where does it come from? Oh yeah, your daughter's savings.

Does it embarrass you that I care more about her than you do? I'm a fucking stranger to you - you haven't said more than 10 words to me in the entire time that I have known you. But I'm the one trying to get her to read at grade level, to write at grade level. I am the one trying to get her through the SATs so she can go to college. Do you even know about any of this? Do you care? Does her success interest you beyond whether you can get some money from her every month once she has a job?

We can't afford to care for and feed her, and yet, I still think daily about trying to take her into our house. Why do I care so much more about your daughter than you do?
