"mom, i'm coming home."
is heath coming with you?
"no. we're kind of broken up right now."
that's good.
"mom!"
i'm sorry but i never really wanted him for you. he's no good, linda. you skipped your first semester of college to be his babysitter.
"i'm sorry, mom but you knew i was all he had. i thought i was helping him - i mean, i was at first but i don't know what's been going on with him recently. the doctor said something about a relapse."
i really want heath to get better - god knows he's suffered a lot. it's just that i don't want you to fully invest yourself in his...situation. you've completely abandoned your whole life to take care of him, you're forgetting to take care of yourself.
"i just need my mom right now, please."
oh my baby don't cry.
"i know, i'm so sorry mom."
no i'm sorry for getting angry at you like that. come back home, okay? i miss you. and maybe you can reapply for that scholarship again? it's too soon to talk about that again. okay, sorry. i can't wait to see you!
"i miss you too."
