On our own

Dad is not happy because Mam wants to stop having children and she has to take something called birth control. She wants to stop having babies because of all the deaths she had to deal with and because of all the stress she is having. I think dad should understand where Mam is coming from.. People on our street are getting richer and richer because their husbands are going to England to work. Because of this, Mam forces Dad to go to England and get some money for our family. Dad promised to send the money he makes but while all the families are getting some money, we have not received some yet. Mam's friend says we should go get some help with money but she doesn't like that idea. The next day, i got a really bad eye infection and had to go see the doctor. The doctor said i had  conjunctivitis and had to go to the hospital. Once i returned home, i realized dad has to stop spending all our money on alcohol.  Mam is so stressed because we are receiving no money from Dad, she finally gets help. I feel bad for all the stress mam is going through.. This is all very hard on us. We keep thinking dad will finally be smart and understand how much we need money but he doesn't. He just keeps being selfish and spending the money on alcohol and things that aren't important.  I guess we are on our own for now.
