I live with my parents and I love them but im sick of the dynamic. I walk on eggshells. Most of my life Ive been my mother's therapist, and emotional regulator. The men in my family mostly ignore her and take advantage of her weaponised-incompetence style but for whatever reason she barely takes out the anger on them. Maybe because they dont care. But I do care and so its easier to take it out on me? More fulfilling? I have to hear about how she hates them and hates herself and hates her life. And everything else too. I was going to go away for uni and she basically said she might as well kill herself. And then I decided to stay and she told me how disappointed she was with me staying in our hometown because it means ill be stuck here forever. Shes not always like that but the bad moments have been much more regular since I startedgoing out more. I help out so much more than my brother did, pay the same rent, but get harassed so much more.
