I am so stressed. I can't even begin to explain. Tom's mom took me clothes shopping today. She went completely insane and spent $250 on her credit card for me. And she didn't tell Tom's stepdad that she was going to do it. It was nice to get new clothes finally, really nice, but I'm afraid that his stepdad will find out and get angry at me or most likely Tom. His stepdad isn't going to pay him for working around the house because his car insurance and cell phone bills are due. On top of that, Tom only has 1/2 a tank of gas. He has negative in his checking account because the state check went through. He also needs to see a doctor because we both think he may have an ulcer or something else wrong with his digestive system. He has horrible heartburn and stomach aches. He's especially miserable today. I just don't know what to do. His mom is taking him to the bank to give him some money, which is awfully nice, but she doesn't really have it to give. Tom doesn't get paid for this job until Thursday and even then he won't get the whole paycheck because he's been working with Jeff.
If my parents had left my money alone, we'd be fine. I could've taken some money out for him and then we wouldn't have to worry. But his parents are in debt, my parents are in debt, and now he is. I'm really worried about this. He's under a ton of stress and I'm afraid of what that might do to him. I was happy about getting clothes this morning, but now I'm tormented inside. I really hope that company calls him back soon so he can go work there.
