I lost both of my parents this year. My mom passed away in October from brain tumors. She and I were extremely close I took care of her until Children and Youth Services found out. I was in a group home when she passed away and they actually had the nerve to tell me that if i didnt feel safe grieving there then i should just wait. Well I did It hit me when my dad passed away in June after 8 years of Alzheimer's disease he let go. When i said goodbye to him at the funeral It felt like i was saying goodbye to my child instead of my father. I took care of him I fed him, bathed him, got him dressed, got him to the bathroom. I was a caregiver for both of my parents. I just turned 18 in March and moved out on my own after being released from children and youth services care. And I've just felt lost ever since. I dont know where to go from here. If anyone ever wants to talk email me sometime because I need to talk to someone who understands what i'm talking about. my addy is oldnavy_133@hotmail.com
