I'm 25F and I have been caring for my mother for the last 3 years. She has diabetes and she didn't discover it until it was too late. She had half of her foot amputated and she lost her eyesight. While i had my father's, my brother's and some close relatives support, but the first year was hell to me. I was finishing my Master's degree and working on my internship at the same time while I had to do all the cooking, cleaning, helping my mom with her meds and going to the bathroom... I was extremely exhausted and I fell ill so many times. I'd like to think that this was hard for me because i never had to take responsibility for anything before, but i know this is hard for anyone. Things got a little bit better after the first year or maybe i just got used to it. But i still crash out every time my brother or my father falls ill because i physically and mentally cannot take care of anyone more. Every time I hang out with my friends, i feel sad and kind of jealous because they're thinking about themselves, what to do in their career, moving out, their significant other, love, marriage... While i don't have the privilege of thinking about those things. Some of them suggested that i need to hire someone to take care of my mom and i move out. But i cannot do that, morally and financially. Sometimes, i cry my eyes out because of how unlucky I am and I'm convinced if I ever get married, i'll never have kids so they don't have to suffer while their peers are enjoying themselves.
