Can I get comfort from anyone? I’ve been in the hospital for about a week now, and no one has come to visit me. My family keeps saying their too busy, but i just found out through social media that they went past the hospital To my cousins house for a party while i sit here waiting for recovery. I feel useless and unwanted. Like it’s not my fault i caught this infection. I just want ppl to care and be there for me, but if I cant expect it from my family, friends, then who?

Hey Kid,

Listen, people….sometimes are just shit like that. 

Sometimes, even your own family will do that to you, make you feel lower than low, when in fact, you just wanted to know that someone, anyone, gives a shit. Sadly, it’s something I know well. 

However…you’re not alone kid. You’re also, not useless and unwanted. That’s just all the bullshit talkin’ back at you. 

Sometimes family will do this thing…where they want you to rest, and get better and give you space. But it isn’t space you need, but unless you tell them that, they’ll think they’re doing the right thing. 

Look, tell ya what. 

Let Uncle Hank handle this. I’ll give your family a piece of my–huh? What do you mean I can’t just–What? I’m nothing like that prick Gavin! Don’t start with me Conner–!

Hey! Uh, Conner here–

Listen, we care about you a lot. And as much as Lt. Anderson would love to think that just going in, and giving a ‘hard glare’ to your family would make things better, it’s not. But I do agree with him on one thing. 

You should tell them how you feel.

And if they won’t listen to you. Well Lt. Anderson and I always will. Okay?

We hope you feel better soon,
Hank and Conner
