You could have said no, told Jerry to clean himself up and be an adult, told off your mother for not taking the kids with her when she ran from her abusive marriage.

So now you’ve given up your future, your half finished degree and research papers all but forgotten as you play housewife and stay at home mom for your younger siblings, shielding them from as much of it as you can and trying not to embarrass yourself in front of the sweet goat woman and funny skeletons that moved into your building.
