I guess right now, her bad side is coming out. I don't really know what is going on with her, but I guess it's not my job to figure it out. I guess I need space from her, but I do miss her "good side." I know it sounds unhealthy, but I just lack support, so I will take every bit that comes my way. Sometimes she doesn't realize how much words can hurt though. My brother lives with her, so it is worse for him. The friends that I have left are off doing better things, or they are married and do not live near by. The guy I was dating died a few months ago. So it can be lonely.


So it sounds like the whole family lives intergenerational , I know that’s normal in some cultures. My parents moved out at 17/18, I moved out at 18, my visually impaired brother stayed at home well into his 20s.
My mom is delusional about me and my dad is self centered. I try to support him the best I can.
I hope you find some peace.
