Shellie's Car

Shellie's car, which is actually her mother's car died. It needs a new transmission. She is all 'woe is me, I can't see my kids' and I half feel sorry and half feel angry. I think most of the pity I feel is from when I was unemployed, facing surgery, and knowing after I got out that I had nowhere to live and no way to see my kids...I know how Bad that was for me. Also, I feel sorry for the kids. The other part of that is if she had not been sponging off her mom these years, had been working a decent job instead of a kid's part time job she would have the means to support herself, a place to live, and even a car so she could get around. I clearly see the difference. These past years, I have focused my life towards making things better for Lexie and Logan. She has been only thinking of herself...working a no stress job with friends where every day is a party, living rent and utility free, seeing the kids just enough so that she doesn't feel like a bad mother, and sleeping as much and as late as possible every day.
