My mom always did everything for me. If I needed help, she would help me out. Now since she died I have no help. My dad won't help me the way she did. I ask for help and he refuses to help me. Like when I needed support he was there for me as long as he did not have a gf. Now that he has a gf, he refuses to help me out.

My father has turned into a man that went from helping me out all the time to barely acknowledging me. I'm the only kid he has that asks for anything from him. I was never taught to be an adult, I was only taught how to be a child. Now dad expects me to be an adult immediately. I can't do it! I feel so overwhelmed with grief and pressure from everyone to do it all by myself when I do not have the resources to do everything by myself.

I do not how to go about being an adult when I've never had to be...mom was always there to take care of me. I thought my dad would take over her role as a friend and helper, but he refuses to since he got this gf.
