She was an extremely lazy parent (fatness and laziness go hand in hand). She worked as a correctional officer but in the last few years, she was sitting at home on disability. I'm basically the head of the family as of right now considering that I gained custody of my brothers when I was 18(mom was basically bedridden then and I got CPS on my side) and I'm a college student going through an ROTC program with only a frugal part time job. My little brother is in high school and is working almost full time just to make ends meet. And I'm super concerned about my 12 year old brother, who will grow up without parents thanks to my mom's eating habits.
