Merry Death

How do you tell someone...

"I am sorry you are in hell, but its the hell of your own creation and you deserve it?"

My sister is in a hell of her own creation. She won't get help for her addictions and is relying on my parents for financial support. She is living with my mother and her husband. Together, they have 5 dogs. My sister's dog and my mother's dog fight a lot. My mother's husband got bit today pulling them apart and a screaming match of "Fuck You's" ensued.

I am sorry that she is going through this. But no one feels sorry for me wearing a size 24. I ate the brownies. No one shoved them in my mouth. No one held me down on the sofa so I couldn't go exercise. No one gives me money for clothes when my old clothes don't fit anymore because I get fatter.

So why should I feel bad for her when she calls crying because she hates living with my mom's husband? When she only has $8 to her name? When she is lonely because she has alienated all her friends and family?
