My name is Ashley and I have no clue what to do about my life. It basically started when the people I love the most is locked up which is my mother and my brother Scott. And I was forced to live with my dad who I had not talked to since I was ten. And the rules are so much different. I used to get fucked up with my mom and she basically let me do whatever I wanted. But when I live with my dad i can't spend the night anywhere or basically do anything. It sucks. And everyone such as my step siblings and my parents look down on me and my mother. My dad has money so I would be able to go to colledge, and my mom was on welfare. But I didn't mind. I never really asked for anything. I always got school clothes and shoes and food. My mom is a good person, always there for me and loving me, she would do anything for me. And when I lived with her I kept her together. And when she gets out I wanna be able to live with her when I'm 18. But all I'm going to hear from my parents here is you're doing the wrong thing blah blah blah. And I know college is the right thing to do, but I choose to be with my mom. I don't want to follow society's plan for people. I just want to have a job and be with people I care the most about.
