Lately i have been thinking about my past. There is something that happens or that i see that reminds me of it. We have all made mistakes in our life and get judged on it but should we cause no human being is perfect. I tend to bring up the past to my family when i get mad. I recently was told by my family that they have to move from their home my heart broke almost about 15 years we have had that house in the family. I worry about my family i am the oldest child. I do not live with my mother or father but i hurt cause all my life we have moved from place to place foster home to foster home it is no fun. I have been in many shelters i remember them like it was just yesterday. I was scared lonely and felt like no one was there, i was even made fun of at school for being homeless. Honestly its part of life we may not want to accept the fact that we are losing everything. I sat down with my brothers and sisters to talk to them cause being a parent i realized it is hard when you lose everything and have no where to go or no one to turn to. I thought back to how we used to treat our parents yes they were on drugs and was not there for us and i was the mother figure, but in reality we all grew up and are grown and can hold our own.(well not my siblings quite yet) I asked them to help and be patient cause its all starting over (i have 10 brothers and sister and five of them live with my mom and are underage) again. Growing up we never really did like shelters i can admit i was scared and to this day i still am as for my siblings it the point of starting over to new everything its hard we have done it our whole life. I sat down and talk to my mom she cried to me about it, then she stopped  and said is it all worth crying for. For years i have tried my hardest and end up with nothing and in the same place. I cried cause now being a parent i understand a mother is going to do what is best for her children. So i told them to just help my mother and everything would get better soon. I had to tell them a shelter is not that bad once you are in it just think of it as a temporary room you are renting and still getting assistance. Life is so crazy when things are going good the bad comes along and ruins it. Well i also learned that not only will you not know what your parents are going through when they lose everything but how to put myself in someone else shoes and try to understand their reasons but i learned that when one thing jumps in your way keep pushing, do not stop and give up it is your battle that you are fighting to save your family and yourself so be motivated and keep moving never let anything hold you back. Everything happens for a reason i told them so maybe a shelter at this point would be good to stay at its only temporary help to move forward and get some stability. I guess what i am trying to say is never be afraid of help always ask or look for assistance. Also one more ting have patience with your parents if you are experiencing this any extra stress is going to just break them down more, because when you think about it a parent is supposed to provided the most essential necessities in life and when you lose your home is a big punch in the face cause you are losing the most important thing for you child a stable home. Be patient and give it time it will work out. Be their backbone and ear listen you can learn a lot about life i know i have just from my mistakes.
