reader, anonymous, writes (13 June 2009): That is really admirable of you to take care of your mom, deal with your illnesses and going to school. Being 15 years old and going through the stress of becoming an adult is bad enough. Seems as though you just might need to take a breather and just have time for you. People tell you that you are strong, perhaps that is what they see on the outside, but inside you feel the burden and pain of dealing with all of this. When I am faced with the stresses of life that I seem as though I cannot go on, I just organize myself and do what is important first, then if it is something I can deal with tomorrow, so be it. In your case, I do not know what your personal situation is whether you can ask a family member to stay with your mom, or you can talk to the health unit in your area to speak with a nurse about what is going on to get a home support worker to sit with your mom so you can do your schoolwork. Usually the state pays for it. I wish you luck, and remember, there are people who are in a worse situation than yourself and they somehow get through it.
