She has depression, she’s not the same as she was when i was little, we used to LIVE, and we’d go shopping and have a nice time together, she had friends
Now instead of living, i think she’s just alive (which means she’s dead)
Basically, it’s like i’ve lost my parents already, i’m 16
Beceause my mum stays home all day, smoking, due to depression, and i can’t remember a single conversation i ever had with my dad, not even from when i was little, but when i was little my dad used to play with me and my sis, by letting us ride him like a horse, but now it’s like he’s just mean.
I feel virtually orphan, but to be honest, i think i’d feel much worse if they really were dead, so maybe there is something just by their presence, but what shall i do to cope?

I’m real sorry truly & I totally get you ’cause I lost my Dad to cancer & now it’s just me & my Mom.
Let me tell you for the first few years it was the hardest but thankfully it does get better over time.
I do share some of your sentiments over how you feel like an orphan & how your Mom seem to be a shadow of her former self. There’re good & bad days but that’s life y’know.
We were lucky ’cause we had help from church, friends who helped with the transition.
I guess it would be helpful if your Mom got help, like talk to a professional psychiatrist or a pastor or family member, relative, friend, etc. Sometimes people need a little nudge to kick-start the path toward healing.
Be strong. Good luck.
The only thing to do …..
Bring some Life and Light in your Home for your parents. Be alive for them, talk to them and help them don’t leave them alone with their problems. Be there for them, Bring them to Light, if they don’t leave the house where life is, bring life to them in their home.
Be creative, I’m sure you can do it.
