Hello guys.
Its my first post here. Been reading the forums for a long time and
so I thought I'd voice out the issues that are going on in my life
at this moment.
I'm almost 26 years old, male. Currently, my mum is struck with
terminal liver cancer and she has not much time left. Doc estimated
that she has not more than 2 years remaining. Initially, it was a
hard fact to swallow, but eventually I've come to accept this
fact.
I gave up my day job to look after my mum who constantly needs
medical attention/checkups/chemotherapy. Thus, unemployed at this
point of time. But thinking of finding any suitable job in the
hotel trade I can work during the night as my dad and sis will be
home by then to look after my mum. I need financial
independance.
Recently, we hired a maid to take care of domestic chores. Sadly, 2
months after she came onboard, she ran away from home and stayed in
the Philippines Embassy halfway house. My family decided not to
hire another maid as it just seem we have no 'fate' with them, cos
prior to this runaway maid, we had another one who just could not
learn how to do chores properly. Btw, we did not abuse any of them
in any way. They probably could not adapt to the lifestyle
here.
To make matters worse, my dad has changed lots over the years.
Instead of the caring husband and father we used to have, he's now
a tyrant who has another woman outside. My mum is really
heartbroken and I can only console her, lend her my ears. To be
fair, my dad still take care of my mum by ferrying her to and from
the hospital. But I really hate him for having another woman,
especially when my mum is in this state of health.
I know for sure, when my mum's time is up, I will not stay with him
for we cant really get along at times.
People ask me what my desired career path is. I know its the 3D
animation and visual effects. Sadly, there isnt a good specialised
degree I can pick up here. So, I've decided to look for a school
overseas, either in States or U.K to obtain that degree. But I
think this wont materialise till I save enough money.
As much as I'd like to remain optimistic about things, I realised I
am human after all. Sometimes, I really hope for someone to be
there for me to listen and just give me a great big hug. There was
one point my energy seemed to wane terribly. But I figured that
there's always a silver lining in the clouds, light at the end of
the tunnel, gold at the other end of the rainbow.
I'm single and never got attached so probably I dunno how it feels
to be someone's champion. But hopefully, when all these problems I
have now are solved and when I get my career ontrack, God will let
me meet the love of my life.
Well, just sharing my thoughts and feelings. Least I know you all
are listening
