Not this past summer but the summer before, my car was in an accident and I was not able to drive it. It sat in my mother's driveway so my brother could begin working on it. Before he even got the chance, my sister decided to take it for a joy ride (she was 14 at the time) and ended up smashing it into a tree. Well my mother paid for some parts and my brother got the front of my car fixed up and it was drivable. My mother said my sister said she would not get her license until she was 18 and would have to get a job to pay to have the back of my jeep replaced. (she hit the tree so hard it jammed the back in so the hatch won't open.) Well here I am over a year later and my jeep's back still has not been replaced (sister has not gotten a job even though she is now 16).
Well I was at a family dinner on Sunday and my mom said she was thinking of buying my sister a car and she could get her license. I calmly reminded my mom that she had said my sister would not get her license until she was 18 and that she shouldn't be allowed to get it yet. My mom responded that it wasn't my decision and I had no say in the matter.
So here I am with a jeep that I can't get into the back, no money to pay for it myself, my sister won't get a job to pay for it to be replaced, she gets to get her license on time, and on top of it might get a car. I was out of a car for a month because of the extra parts needed and my brother doing extra work because of the extra damage done to the car. The value of the car has gone down even more because of the damage still on the car (the back hatch). If I decide to move soon, I can't use my jeep to move things like I used to. I'll have to rent a truck to move furniture.
So what do I do? Why do I do so much for my sister and mother, yet receive this in return?
