You're awesome, you know that, right?!
Hey ArtieTheSequal, I know people don't reply to posts here but wow at your T. I think I needed to read her phrase too.

I was raised to be my perpetrator brother's keeper (he's ruining his life very deliberately, has told me he feels i owe him) and my mum refuses to learn basic computer stuff, or certain other adulting tasks and would be all "helpless" and call me selfish if I didn't help... I get how sometimes it's easier to give in to avoid the bs or sulking that happens if you don't.

It's tough to not enable, and I'm cheering you on at healing being the good, responsible one.

Thanks for this!
