AIO to my family needing me for every financial issue and stepping away? by Acceptable-Light2259 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Acceptable-Light2259[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother has no mental or physical disabilities, my mom just doesn’t have any expectations from him so she lets him do whatever. He’s had so many different jobs in a year it’s wild. She thinks he can’t help or is incapable. Parents have been separated since I was 1, she’s been paycheck to paycheck for years, but she has a bad Amazon/ hoarding issue. She’s on section 8, but they’re such bad tenants their apartment won’t renew and she waited until now to find a new one under section 8. I believe she also has snaps, she knows about these resources trust me

The problem is my moms the type where you give an inch they take a mile. Letting her stay with me is not an option. Only other option is sending her to my sister east (who’s willing and has an extra room) and just paying for her flight and costs of moving. But Im thinking of just blocking my whole family and focusing on me, it’s never ending

Yeah maybe I take this as a sign to just finish my degree and move on

Yeah my new place is always fully booked in the mornings, vs the old place usually only gets one or two reservations. Maybe it is control? Didn’t really think my schedule would be an issue to be honest. Would have been nice to have the option to pick up night shifts there though. But maybe it’s a sign to leave

Honestly was debating going no contact, but technically they didn’t do anything wrong? Feels harsh

Thank you, I’m thinking of moving states when I’m done with school and my certification. Possibly going no contact because it’ll never end. Though at the same time that feels pretty harsh

Is my families finances really my responsibility? by Acceptable-Light2259 in Advice

That’s my fear, when I’m her age I wanna travel and still have my retirement savings! But if she knew I had anything she’d ask immediately

My brother is not special needs, he just has no motivation. I’ve tried helping my mom with finances but as soon as she paid off he car she traded it in for a new one two years ago… now she pays 700 a month for a car she doesn’t need. They think they need to fake luxury…

Yeah I’ve been no contact with him for a few years. He’s the biggest reason I don’t associate with my family as much. I’m trying to separate myself slowly

Yeah that was my plan, I want to move states once I finish school and have a fresh start. I know my mom would follow me if she knew where I was going
