Why no new chapters as of yet · 3:39pm Oct 7th, 2018
First, I'll say that I'm not quitting the stories. I just... haven't felt like writing or being creative since this shitstorm hit me.
On October 1st, my father (whom I live with) got rip-roaring drunk and went on a 6 hour tirade about how worthless me and my sister are, that I'm a parasite for staying with him and that he wanted to throw me out. Didn't matter if I was in the room or not he kept going, nothing but cursing and yelling. If it was anyone else I'd have shrugged it off but I was raised to fear my father. I mean outright petrifying fear (age 16 he hit me across the throat with his belt giving me a permanent tightness in the throat, then acted like we were best buddies).
I called my uncle hoping he might help mediate the situation but he correctly told me there's nothing you can do when someone's drunk like that but wait it out. He then tells me that he also thinks I've got no room to complain since my father can do whatever he wants in his house and if I don't like him getting drunk like this I can move out. The next morning my dad goes back to acting like nothing happened but I can't take a second night like that.
The one benefit of this event is that it's severed whatever tie I have to my childhood home, which will be carved down from 12 to 2 Acres come november. I no longer feel anything for any of it.
So I've been putting in applications for some better jobs, if I can land one of these I can start looking at apartments.
I'll get back to writing when I feel like I can immerse myself in ponies again. I just haven't felt like writing for the past week.
I hope you can land a good job and get away from your dad, stay safe.
Sorry you've had to face such obstacles in life.
But you're doing the right thing getting out of a toxic situation and freeing yourself.
Hang in there.
Good luck, and take care of yourself, and if you can later assist your sister.

Here's hoping. The situation is more complicated than what I let on but its as much as I care to share without feeling like I'm putting too much information out there.
I'm heading to a job event at a local grocery store tomorrow, which will accelerate things exponentially if I get in.
Edit: Didn't get it. Currently trying to put new floor in my cart because its rusting through. =c
