I am not the only person in my family with mental health issues. My mother's world is imploding and I am the only family member stable enough to provide support.

I am ok with this, there are several benefits to multigenerational households, my mother and I have a good relationship, and I have most of the logistics worked out.

But the emotional state I am in is not good. I am anxious, I feel guilt, concern... and a lot of things I cannot identify.

Why anxious and guilty? Concern I can see, but I think as long as you and your mom are on an open communication you can reasonably work out any situations and pitfalls! Good luck and I hope things work out for the best

I love my mother dearly. We both suffer, from similar mental health issues. Even though, we may have good days. I would not be able to live with her. I wouldn't mind living nearby. I need my own space to be able to heal myself. Two unhealthy people together can be a keg powder barrel ready to ignite. For me, the history, triggers, would be too stressful for me. I wish you well. I wish you peace. I wish you healing.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
