Here's the long and short of what I've gathered today:
One, my parents are flat broke. Their insurance policy apparently uses 90% of mom's paycheck. Two, me and my brother are apparently the reasons why. We're both adults, so the insurance gets more expensive to keep relying on theirs. Three, they're gonna cut off insurance access fairly soon. I technically have a job, but my brother doesn't, so that may cause problems for him. Four, if my job doesn't pay enough for insurance, I'll lose access to my prescribed medicines and my therapist. I don't need to say why that's not good.
The reasons I've been told are that everything is more expensive at the moment, that my mom changed jobs to one with pricier insurance and lower pay (but did so because it was an easier job that she's more capable of doing at her age), and that my dad just doesn't like that we're taking a BREAK during SUMMER BREAK. He didn't say that verbatim, but I can tell that's what he meant. Regardless, I'm not sure what I can really do. Or rather, what they want me to do. I already don't like them, it's not like I was freeloading for funsies. I guess they just don't get that even the easy jobs are a tough sell for employers these days. And on the reverse, some job "opportunities" are a tough sell for me. I actually got approved for working at Wal-Mart! Thing is, it's an hour's drive from the college campus, and that's relevant because that's a week from now. You want me to work for a week? I can't drive that far on top of going to college. So I turned it down.
I guess all I can do is see what's available around town when I move back in.
I also played ace attorney today, but that's like saying the sky is blue. I'm enamored with these games, what can i say? I'm at the very tail end of T&T. After that, I'll start packing, I guess.
