Working for more drawings - new goal: 1 drawing per day
Added 2021-04-14 22:19:27 +0000 UTCI will be posting 1 drawing per day since now! I am so sorry guys, maybe you thought I was dead or something x(.
I have been super depressed, after the vacations (no work days) last month, I realized that I should be happy in my life! This is not about support because I have it, this is about my familiar situation. I realize about I suffer a lot of abuse from my family, and this should stop at some point.
--------
If you want to read something about my situation, I think you deserve to know because I owe you a reason:
For more than a year, I have been a victim of exploitation by my family, because I am the man of the house. I had two jobs (Patreon and a physical job) for pay everything in my house, rent, food, internet, electricity, water, my sister's studies etc ... But someone asked me "is this your responsibility Carker"?, "Of course not but I should do it, I am the big brother" I replied. My father is not here, I have been like a "father" to the small family that I have, doing all the hard work here. This is correct?... of course not, I'm not married to have a real responsibility... This is exploitation and hurts because I loved my family before of all this.
Two months ago I rented a place for my family to try to get their own money with their own business, but my family dont want to work and the business is falling down (again), this is the second time x(!!!!! I am tired of this! all my earnings.... I cry because I lost a lot of money for give a job to my family, they say that the covid is the reason why they can't work. I have years paying all here, what is happening!? I tried to be even better than my father, I pay too much, I support too much, and I feel myself like an idiot! This have not sense for me.
I think that this responsibility does not belong to me and all my money goes mainly to my family, I cannot buy what I want. I work hard! but my life is a nightmare :./
I need to leave my family in a future and think about my projects...
I am sorry, you shouldnt to know this, but I needed telling you if you was curious about why I stopped of post this week, I feel ashamed of this.
Great day for you, I will post new art tomorrow - Carker

2021-04-16 03:06:25 +0000 UTCPoor you Thy! You are really working hard, and you are the pillar of your family at the age you shouldn't be. Hope your family could get better soon, so that you can have less stress. *Hugs🐯

2021-04-15 11:57:45 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to hear that you're under these circumstances, Thy. It's the worst when people's hard work and good will is taken advantage of. I hope you can find a way out of this situation 🙏

2021-04-15 11:13:26 +0000 UTCHello, Thy Sorry to hear about your situation. It seems you are reaching your breaking point. If you can no longer tolerate your family situation then you need to leave them. They need to learn to survive on their own (whether through another family member, government support, or whatever else) You should be responsible for your own health and happiness, not theirs. This situation seems to be pretty common in many cultures that greatly value family. I have a friend who's older sister was supporting their family. 2 parents and 3 younger, underaged siblings. Their mother cannot work because she speaks no English and has no useful skills and their father is a criminal/felon who cannot obtain work from many places. I do not know or whether his older sister was happy living like this for many years. But this is no way to live. My friend and his siblings are now all grown up and are working and/or in school. Supporting the family should be the responsibility of the parent, not the child, and you are not the parent. And abusive family... is not family. Good luck.

2021-04-15 08:04:47 +0000 UTCcreo que lo mejor seria que incluso si quieres seguir soportandolos financieramente por ser tu familia, aun asi te mudes lejos... mereces tu espacio y tus tiempos, reencontrarte contigo y todo eso... ser tu; espero y puedas con el tiempo ^^ y suerte con lo de un dibujo por dia, espero puedas lograr lo que te propongas pero tampoco te obligues a saturarte ^^u

2021-04-15 01:46:41 +0000 UTCAs someone who also is overworking for family, that really sucks and boy howdy do I understand. It is... complicated when it's for family, sadly. It does help to take care of yourself, though. I mean I know you know that, haha, but I'm echoing that sentiment. As among other things, if you are extremely stressed out then you won't work as well yourself, and thus you won't be able to actually help as long as you'd like, plus everyone has their breaking point. Hearing you do daily art is cool, but not if it's pushing yourself too far. Try to give yourself breaks, as you are important too!

2021-04-15 01:42:03 +0000 UTCI read your story, and I see why you've been needing your breaks. You definitely need some time to yourself and enjoy what you like to do because it seems like you've been stressed out to the extreme. I think moving out and focusing on you is the best option, especially for you but also for your family. Unless they're all physically incapable of working, they should be making plans on how to work and make their own cash, rather than constantly relying on you. This must be insanely draining on your mental health. I hope you're able to find a solution to your problem, Thy. I send prayers to you and your fam, but especially you dude. Also the whole drawing a day thing sounds cool, but please, don't overwork yourself, man. If you truly want to do that, then go for it. But, if you feel you need to stop and take a break to breathe and self-reflect on things, then by all means do that. Your health is the top priority, dude. We care for your art, but we care even more for the guy behind it. Please take care. (versión español) Leí tu historia y veo por qué necesitas tus descansos. Definitivamente necesitas algo de tiempo para ti y disfrutar de lo que te gusta hacer porque parece que has estado estresado al extremo. Creo que mudarse y concentrarse en ti es la mejor opción, especialmente para ti pero también para tu familia. A menos que todos sean físicamente incapaces de trabajar, deberían hacer planes sobre cómo trabajar y hacer su propio dinero en efectivo, en lugar de depender constantemente de usted. Esto debe ser increíblemente agotador para tu salud mental. Espero que pueda encontrar una solución a su problema, Thy. Te envío oraciones a ti y a tu familia, pero especialmente a ti, amigo. Además, todo el asunto del dibujo de un día suena genial, pero por favor, no te excedas, hombre. Si realmente quieres hacer eso, hazlo. Pero, si siente que necesita detenerse y tomar un descanso para respirar y reflexionar sobre las cosas, entonces hágalo. Tu salud es la máxima prioridad, amigo. Nos preocupamos por tu arte, pero nos preocupamos aún más por el hombre detrás de él. Por favor cuídate.

2021-04-15 01:10:43 +0000 UTCThat really sucks. You worked really hard to make a living while your family does nothing to lighten up your load. It's not okay and you should tell them to get a job or at least contribute anything to make your life a bit easier. It's just unfair that you're being exploited of you kindness and dedication. And like others said, don't feel bad about missing a week of work. You do really great in your Patreon and that's what matters. Always love what you do, and I'm sure many others feel the same. :))

2021-04-15 00:40:34 +0000 UTCSorry to hear about your family situation. Sadly, being related to someone is not a guarantee that they will have your best interests at heart. Don't forget that your needs and feelings are important too, not just theirs. Don't feel bad about not posting for a few days. You've posted so much here already, more than most do, and you're entitled to a break now and then. I hope things get better for you soon!

2021-04-15 00:17:16 +0000 UTCOh man that does sound like you're in a corner, because it's your family and at the same time you don't want them to just leech off of you. Moving out sounds like a good idea, you can still send them a little bit of money after you move but they really should try harder to find their own work to earn their own money. And WOW! 1 picture a day!? Thats even possibl?? if so then I'm impressed and can't wait to see and to buy some. Hope your hands won't fall off lol XD
