Reply to comment by raz0rflea in TIFU by introducing my family to death note by Mission-Handle-9033

It’s kind of always been like this. I do see a therapist, and take antidepressants/anti anxiety meds, which helps a lot. It’s sort of just the way things shake out, when you throw in the fact that my mom’s sick and exhausted herself. I’d moved out, but after she was hospitalized she begged me to come back to help manage everything. It still doesn’t feel fair sometimes though, and I really appreciate the empathetic words 💙

I am glad you're doing what you can to look after yourself! I had a aimilar situation with my older brother who we all had to walk on eggshells around and be ready to do whatever he wanted to keep him calm, and it isn't fair and it is really exhausting so I feel ya!

Thank you, it’s really nice and rare to find someone who can sympathize. It’s a really terrible dynamic when everyone KNOWS the behavior is not normal/acceptable, but you’re all much too tired to really fight them on it anymore. Most people don’t really believe me when I talk about my experiences with her, especially from when I was younger. I’m sorry you had to experience that, but again, I appreciate the empathy, and hope that your situation is either already improved or improves soon.
