If you are low income, there are a lot of resources available for low cost, sliding scale therapy and/or support groups. If you have health insurance there are also a lot of in network options available for a small co-pay. Sometimes women’s non-profits and other charities have services available. It may take a little leg work to find, but there are therapy options that can work for a tight budget.

I know you have come here for support, and perhaps helping you get real life support would be the most useful? We can see how much pain you are in over the relationship with your kids. Your distorted view of what is an appropriate parent-child relationship seems to be at the root of this pain, and therapy is the best way to help change distorted thinking. For instance, you titled your thread “my daighter’s immaturity” but that seems to be a misunderstanding. From what you have described, your daughter acted appropriately and you got mad at her anyway, cussing another rift between you. Instead of asking your daughter for favors (many of them illegal) and then getting mad at her when she tries to help you, you could try handling those things yourself? And only using your own address to get insurance or taxes in the legal way? If you stopped trying to game the system (and using your daughter to do so), your relationship with her might improve. Usually, it is the parent who helps the child, so maybe it would help your relationship is you stopped trying to rely on your daughter and took on the adult role. I know you need support for you, too, but that’s where a therapist or support group can come in instead of your children. I hope you are able finding the help you need.
Thanks for this!
