I have a narcissistic mother and schizophrenic brother. Both have done so much damage to me mentally and psychologically. I don't want to get into specifics but I've reached my breaking point. I don't know what to do anymore.

how much do you depend on them?

get away from them as soon as you can, it'll feel like a distant nightmare & you can get your own life

Look up Dr Sam Vaknin on youtube. He is a pioneer of narcssism and treatment or guidance of it. If none else, it will at least give you clarity.

You need to make a clean break, you're in an enviornment who's abuse is overt at worst and ambient at best. They are trying to remove your sense of self, you gotta get outta there before it's too late. Do not return, you must be no contact to heal.

My brother not at all, I don't live with him but live very close to him. I have stopped talking to him (blocked his number) and explained why I need some space but on top of his schizophrenia he is extremely narcissistic and toxic, was very abusive towards me. My mother however I depend on. I just got accepted to law school on the other side of the country but financially I don't think I can swing it unless I get approved for loans, but my credit score is not so good so I'm not sure if I can get it. I will of course apply. The reason I say I depend on my mom is because I don't have a job or any money so primarily I depend on her for a place to live. Also my mom took my education fund in its entirely which my dad left for me and used it for herself. But after I found this out I became so distressed and started gambling and lost all my money. I have about $40,000 of my own assets (precious metals) but it is not liquid and I honestly do not want to sell it. I'm not sure what to do. I have asked the school to defer my admission to next year but not sure if they will allow me. My mom has said she will return the money she took from me but she has made no effort to do it, in my opinion she uses it as a mechanism of control over me and it makes me feel so horrible.

... Get a job, maybe live in your mother's for reduced/no rent, don't retardedly gamble out of "stress", if you can then get the money returned to you even if indirectly like "rent" savings for instance, move the hell on

I have tried, you don't think I haven't tried? I have applied to over 200 jobs and have not got even 1 interview. No one will hire me.
>>
>>34407804
Then move to some non-shithole that is hiring
>>
>>34407897
you are a terrible person
>>
>>34407980
Um, how?

Same to you retard
>>
>>34408223
someone with no money and a mentally ill family struggling to find employment comes to a site specifically designed for giving advice, seeking help, and your instinctual response is to tell them to move to a "non shithole" that is hiring aside from having no obvious empathy. You're a garbage human being and you don't belong here.

that's very significant
and yeah, please don't lose that

don't worry about the gambling right now & don't beat yourself up
don't do it again though

try and get a job if you can
not only will it give you money, but possibly help you find more of a support network or friends to rely on

if you're confident you could start a career from law school, i think you could sell the precious metals & use that to pay for a lot of the schooling
maybe get a campus job of some sort as well

>My mom has said she will return the money she took from me but she has made no effort to do it, in my opinion she uses it as a mechanism of control over me and it makes me feel so horrible.
u should probably consider that money gone
don't bother confronting her, try not to think about it
just focus on getting independent from her

treat it as unlikely that she gives the money back, but be happy if she does

shut up retards

>>34408385
And? Sounds like a completely logical solution to me, use your savings and move to somewhere that actually lets you make more savings. 2 birds with 1 stone since you also get away from your retarded family

On, my little sister Millie
Is a whore in Piccadilly
And my mother is another
In the Strand,
While my father sells his asshole
Round the Elephant and Castle.
We're the finest fuckin family
In the land.

I'll see your narcissistic mother and schizophrenic brother, and raise you an alcoholic father
