No one knows Options

[ExExEx]

No one knows how I'm feeling. On the outside, I may seem like a normal teenager, but on the inside, there's too much pain...too much for me to bare. For 7 years now, my dad has been a gambling addict. During these 7 years, I've experienced things that are more heart-breaking than any of you can imagine. No one knows what it feels like when you have to hire a driver to drive you to the casino to find your dad, or knowing that 2 months worth of income has been lost after your dad comes home at 4 in the morning. Right now, my family is literally broken apart. My mom is 3000 miles away trying to get a degree and find a job and my dad just left a note this morning saying that he's flying to toronto. At the same time, my parents expect me to get in the best universities, but how can I do anything with this much stress inside of me? You might think I'm just trying to get attention by saying all this, and maybe I am. But I can't hold this in any longer. I've been having suicidal thoughts for awhile now, but they don't mean anything. I just want people to understand how I feel.

I've been having suicidal thoughts for awhile now, but they don't mean anything.  I just want people to understand how I feel.

I got the strong feeling when you said that that you were doing this for attention. Which, in that case I'm just going to tell you to drop the act, because no one likes a person who does that. I'm telling you this not to be mean or anything, but to help you in the future. There's no reason to kill yourself and you shouldn't even think about it.

Sorry your dad has a gambling problem.. that sucks, but what can ya do about it?
