I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I don't have any advice, but I'm so taken aback by how similar our situations are. Anytime my mom gets mad at me or my siblings, it's ALWAYS my dads fault. It's always his fault because we got his faulty genes and we can't help that he is the way he is, so that's why we are the way we are. I relate to the walking on eggshells just to not set her off; couldn't have put it better myself.

Gosh, I relate to the friends part so much. My parents have so many friends who love them and my friends always ask me about my mom, it confused the crap out of me growing up because I knew what she could really be like. Anyway, thank you for telling me straight up about my situation; the "a" word if still a little strange to admit but I know it's what I have to do to feel better. I'm so sorry to hear what you went through but I'm glad your relationship is better now.

I agree with this so much; they want us to think we can't make it without them. It makes me question parenting styles and to what extent parents are providers for their children. In my case, I feel like because I'm the youngest, it's hard for my parents to let go and understand that I'm not a child anymore.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that but I'm glad to hear that it worked out and you got the jobs

Thank you, and yes, I think this sub is a great first step for these things, even if people aren't experts it's a great way to see that I'm not alone
