Venting About Life

Geez, my brother's mother is a bitch. Well, really he's my half-brother, but we're blood all the same. Why is his mother so disreputable? Well, for years, his mother has been pretty much mind-fucking him about how awful our dad is, how useless school is, and pretty much setting him up to be an unproductive person. He turned eighteen in January, meaning the child support my dad has been paying was going to get cut off for him unless he was in school. Surprise (or not), we learned he was often late to school, hardly did his homework, and had really bad grades. He called dad the other day (earlier this week, if I remember right), and expressed extreme distaste for school, and mentioned he was going to drop out. I knew from a high-school-aged friend of mine that juniors were taking their ACT exams, so we asked him how he did. He didn't have high expectations for his results.

Sad, isn't it?

Continuing, a recent letter from the state came. Apparently his mother intends to get him declared mentally disabled, with herself as his guardian. It's a ploy, really, as there isn't diddly wrong with him. She just wants to milk dad for more money, cause she doesn't work, and apparently she doesn't want my brother to go be productive, either. Like crabs in a freaking barrel if you ask me.
