My mom has gotten worse over the last 10 or so years. I'm trying to get myself into a job and out of the house but it's difficult when I have college debt. I was promised that all of my debt would be paid and that I wouldn't have to worry about anything (7 yrs ago). Now that the time has come I am stuck at home looking for a part time job and struggling to make in through pharmacy school because that promise was not fulfilled. I want to scream at both of my parents along the lines of - what the heck I worked my *** off in college thinking I would get help along the way instead of the you're an adult now figure it out line. Now don't get me wrong knowing ahead of time this would happen I would have done something easier and faster in college. I would have made myself completely self-sustaining and would have stayed there! Sometimes I feel like I got the crappy deal b/c my mom wants me home for the rest of my life and my dad just doesn't care what happens to me just as long as he has his money for whatever he wants. I can't get much done when my mom is drinking almost every other night so I end up developing an anger and anxiety issue. There's no use talking to her so the only thing I can do is vent on here and let you lovely people take a look at it. I hope I make it out of here and become successful enough to never come back into this destructive environment. Thank you for letting me share my feelings.

Glad you found us! Yes, share share share. I'm glad I finally found this site. It took me a while before I looked for support and therapy. I've always been aware of "mental health" because it was always a struggle in our home. I thought I was strong enough to take care of myself.

I wasted years in anger. My father promised so many things and it never happened. It took a very long time to feel understood by others...I did not get understanding from my family and some friends just cannot relate -and that's ok. I know how to deal with it much better.

It appears that your journey will start getting better and better.

The good... you learn not to rely on others and take care of yourself.... the bad... you learn not to on rely on others and take care of yourself. Somehow I will learn how to resolve this.

Welcome!
