Breaking Point Part One: Meeting Lyla
I am writing this journal to document my life collapsing recently. Thankfully I still have my laptop. Hopefully this diary of events will end with me back on my feet, and can be used as motivation for others who cant find work after college and have to move back home.
My mother had died and i hadn't talked to my father much since. I blamed him for my mothers death. He had left her for a much much younger woman. After the divorce was finalized, my mother withdrew and became horribly depressed. At the time I was attending college in Michigan so I didn't see any of these things unfold. I talked to my mother on the phone towards the end and tried to tell her that it was a phase and that dad would grow out of it and they would get back together. My mother didn't believe me and I could tell she was doing poorly, but I was a thousand miles from home and was busy trying to keep my grades up. I got a phone call late one night from my father. He told me the horrible news. My mother had overdosed on pills and alcohol and was pronounced dead.
