Just when I thought the week couldn't get any worse then it already has by my boyfriend breaking up with me... I'm proven wrong!
So my mother was arrested a long time ago for something, and she did her time in jail. After that time was up, I guess what the United States does if you're not born here, then they try to send you back to where you were originally born. Now my mother was a full citizen, I mean come on now, she went to school here, got married here, had 3 kids here...and so on...
Anyway she's been fighting this battle for about 2 to 3 years now, and they kept doing appeal after appeal, then denying appeal after appeal. It got so tiring. One thing I didn't mention is they have her all the way out in Florence Arizona so it's not like I can just stop in during visiting hours. Apparently this happens to a lot of women in the U.S. My mother was writing me letters about these women she's met, one from Mexico (won her case and was released back to the bay area) another women from Spain and one from Arentina I believe (both of these women lost their case and was sent back to their country of births) and one other woman who lost her case, all of which had children and families, I think the only woman who won her case won, because she was still married I think.
Well I just found out yesterday my mother lost her case. They finally made a decision after keeping her in jail for an additional 2 years that she'll be flying back to the Phillipines as of July 8th, and wont be able to visit the U.S. again for another 5 years. Being realistic, I wont be able to afford a plane ticket (plus pay for a passport because I don't have one yet) anytime soon considering I still have tuition upon my other bills to pay.
What a week this has been. I'm mentally, emotionally, and am starting to feel physically exauhsted. I don't know what to do about everything that's happened this week, I really just want to run as far as I can and not look back, but I wouldn't know where to run to. I've accepted the fact that Marcus doesn't want me in his life or to be his boyfriend that is anymore, it still hurts...a lot... but I've somewhat accepted it, and I've had to accept that once again...I wont see my mother for a very very long time. What I need is a car, a full tank of gas, about $350.00 -$500.00, my ipod and a good 3 days off to go to destination unkonwn.
My heart is so tired.
