[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 606549, member: 7170"] Kathy I can't explain it to myself much less anyone else; the only thing I understand is I'm still as much of a doormat as I ever was... after 20 years of this nonsense with the girls dad and a full breakdown in 1998 you would think I would have learned something by now. At this point I just want out, feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions at once. Trying to drive my parents everywhere they need to go, make sure my mom isn't killing them with 5yo meat, keep the filth from consuming their house, listening to my mom bully my dad (she's early Alzheimer's we think) dealing with 2 bipolar teens at my home. All my kids act like I'm the hired help or something. I'm tired but my parents need my help and they have always been there for me so I will be there to help them, I gave birth to these girls and they aren't ready to fly solo so I need to stick by them also. But this boy... his attitude I don't need. He needs to at least double the amount he gives me and if he doesn't want to pay cash I got a whole list of chores and their values or my basement is full of junk that is worth money why doesn't he help me to sell some of this stuff? Better yet my parents have an extra bedroom, need a full time driver and my dad needs a sane person to talk to why doesn't he just move in over there? It would lighten my load so much not worrying about my folks constantly. Whatever he does it's his problem not mine at his age I was working, paying rent & all the other bills and supporting a kid (him) time to grow a pair and man up! I'm gonna look into a car service for my folks, I can still take mom shopping & clean over there once a week but I realize that is the straw that broke the camels back... trying to keep up with 2 households I spread myself too thin and starting to feel like the rope in a game of tug o war. Thank you for listening it helps just knowing I'm not the only one dealing with this stuff and your right he's taking advantage of me. Nancy [/QUOTE]
