eleven year old me ended up deciding to just be completely home alone because i didnt really have any other option. being home alone lasted just until i turned 15 because thats when my grandmother passed away. i never really got a thanks for being home alone for almost every single day from the age of eleven when i feel i shoudve to some extent.
it was everyday i was alone. i have no siblings or father who could keep me company. my mother would leave for work around 8-9am and then come home around 8pm but by then she would be exhausted from working and looking after my grandmother that she would go straight to bed because she was also ill with dizzy spells. so for me it felt like i was constantly home alone.
