One and done

I've finally decided to end it. 

All that's left now is to choose the method. I'm a coward and want something painless. So much of my life has been spent in sadness and pain that I'd like to ensure that my final moments are as peaceful and pain free as possible. 

Pills seem the best way to accomplish that but I don't know which. Google to the rescue. 

Again

Same song, different verse. 

Yesterday my sister and the kids went to visit one of her friends and the day was quiet until they came home. Drama quickly ensued. 

This morning, of course, things are back to the way they always are. Screaming and yelling. Spankings. Crying. Temper fits. 

I hate my life. 

Never happy

I would like to think that one day I can come here and report that something good has happened to me. Unfortunately, that day is not today. 

I hate the weekends. I have to spend 48 hours around two spoiled children and their even worse mother. I've currently been subjected to seven hours of screaming. Literal screaming. My nephew resorts to yelling and hollering when he doesn't get what he wants. And he usually doesn't get what he wants. 

My nerves are just frayed and worn. When I got away in March, my life seemed perfect. I was an adult and I got to be around other adults. It seemed like I might actually be able to cope with what I deal with at home. Once I returned, though, it took about three days before I was completely over it again. 

I love them but I'm just unable to cope anymore. I want to leave. I want to get away and enjoy my life again. I want to be able to get up on Saturday morning and watch television or read and have a cup of coffee without being interrupted. I miss the ability to just watch or so whatever I wanted to. That seems like such a precious thing to me now. I'm always spending money on children and tending to a dog I didn't want and then dealing with a job where I'm not treated with respect and where I'm constantly under attack. It's just soul crushing. 

Where does it end?

Does it ever end?

That might be a better question. I long for the days when there were no children and I was the one who bore the brunt of my sister's terrible attitudes, mood swings and I'll behavior. Now, those two innocent little kids have to hear this nonsense as well. 

Does she never grow tired of screaming and yelling? Of endlessly bitching? I can't take anymore of it. I've tried to be here, to be the good uncle, looking after a niece and nephew who need someone so desperately but I'm not going to be able to be here forever. 

There's not a day that goes by that doesn't find me longing to be somewhere else or longing to have the courage to just end it all. 

There's nothing else to say

I want to die. 

If I weren't a coward, I'd end it today. I'm completely done with everything. 

I hate my job. I hate my family. I hate my life. I asked my boyfriend to marry me last week and he basically dodged the question without answering me. My life has no purpose. 

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

There surely must be something ironic about my sister being an evil bitch to her children on Mother's Day. 

I was woken up at around three am by my nephew who simply refuses to sleep through the night now. He was so noisy that he also woke my niece. They were both too scared to stay in their own beds so, in an attempt to keep the peace and avoid a full scale meltdown by my sister in the middle of the night, I brought them to my room. A few minutes after we all got in my bed, I had to go to the restroom. I managed to get out from between them and get up but by the time I returned to the bedroom they were both asleep. Since the three of us filled the bed to overflowing, I figured it would be easier to lay on the floor. I slept there for about three and a half hours until both of them woke up. 

My niece and nephew are terribly demanding and this morning was no exception. I finally made them get up and leave the room and after correcting them a few times, my sister came bursting out of her room, yelling and hollering, jumping all over them. Then under her breath she said that she'd rather die than spend another day dealing with the kids. 

I don't know what to do anymore. 

Unbearable

My unbearable existence has become ever so slightly more so.

My four year old nephew will now no longer sleep through the night. This has been going on for a matter of days now, but has just (as of half an hour ago) become completely out of control. The "not sleeping" issue would be tolerable were it not for my sister, who flies into a complete rage at the very implication that misbehavior or behavior that slightly deviates from the norm is on the horizon.

I've just endured a half hour of screaming, yelling and tantruming - all from my sister. I tried to defend him, attempting to comfort him, only to be screamed at.

I can't keep living like this. I honestly have no way out. I feel so bad for my nephew and wish there was something I could do to help him but I don't know what more I can do. I provide food, clothing and shelter. I give as much emotional support as I can to my niece and nephew. At the end of the day, though, they aren't my children, and any attempt at better parenting I attempt to guide my sister with is met with complete and utter resistance.

I feel lost, trapped and alone. I don't want to come home from work anymore. I hate the weekends because I have to hear screaming and yelling constantly. This is hell.
