As for me, I'm in my third yr of college, and getting into the nursing program by the end of this year. Tmrw is moms bday & she shared with me today that she's tired of the life she's living. She works frm 7am to 11 at nigh except 3 days where she comes at 5pm& is tired every day as same for my dad. I feel so useless atm. I want to help but I don't know how to ): I jst knw that I need to finish college quick so that I can but idk how can I help them now. What pained me the most was when mom forgot about her bday after I mentioned it since she works a lot. Any advice would be appreciated :)

    You can go to see a school counselor and see if you qualify for financial aid. Get a part time job and try to help out around the house, with a little money and a bit of house work. . Tell your brothers they NEED to do the same. You are a good kid and I think she has raised you well, I think she would be so pleased if she found that you all were banning together to make things better for her and your dad. If your grades are good enough you can get a full ride at university. My son is goes to school full time ( sometimes that can be a 14 hour day for him.He is a music and teaching major.) and helps me out ( I am disabled) and gets gigs where he can and he tutors as well... between financial aid and his gigs and what little I get we are just getting by, we do without a lot but it is worth it because I know he will do better than I did. He eats out when ever anyone offers to take him ( his aunt ) and always tries to bring food home... sounds silly I know but it helps. I think it is sweet he thinks of me. I don't go out anymore. So just do what you can and try to help out. I don't know if that helps but I hope it has. Your mom is lucky to have you and I think anything you do -even if you think it is a small thing she will love. Good luck to you.

    Take some time & Do Something For them. Clean. Make them a dinner they can warm up, when they get home. Those little things, aren't as little, when others do them for you. Write a letter and Thank them.Put flowers in a vase. And after you start bringing in some $$, make sure you give them some. Most of all, show them you love them, by doing something they need done. Without them having to ask.
