my mother is ill and I've been at her house taking care of her. I'm in high school and mentally disabled. I am not allowed to run errands by myself most of the time. I am willing to take care of her, although it's not only her physical health, I have to talk her through panic attacks and ive been trying to sneak in ocd treatment too with her as she is incredibly obsessive compulsive. it makes me sad being around her, even when she was healthy, because of how I was and still am treated by her. I've been living with my dad because of it. I've been dealing with alot of mental health problems and have had to work really hard to graduate, but now in the final months I've got even more responsibility than I've ever had. I have an older brother who I thought would help out, as he has a stable job and a house. he does bring groceries to the house, whitch is something I cannot do becsuse I can't drive. my younger siblings make it hard for her to sleep as they argue alot. they are 16 and 14 so you'd think they could at least help bring her food and water when I'm out smoking, but no, I usually have to put out my ciggarete and do it myself. I don't think this is anyone's fault but I'm exhausted. o just want to not feel exausted
Hey lil bro keep going and keep your head up. Be a good role model for your younger siblings. I know ur in a tough situation but you’re a strong person and you can handle it. Things will definitely get better.
