I'm 24, living in Texas, and have taken care of my mom since she became disabled in Jan. 1998, when I was 15. My mom is now 60. Since I was 18, I've been the sole provider of income for us. She just recently got assistance from Social Security, but it's not enough for her to live on her own. I have come to the point where I can no longer take care of her; our relationship has fallen apart, and I'm to where I can't stand her living with me anymore. I have a horribly dysfunctional family that has refused from the beginning to help, and no one else will help her. I've had pretty much no life for almost 9 years. I don't know what to do; I can't just kick her out, but if I don't do something soon, I'm gonna do berserk. Financially, taking care of my mom's killing me. I've actually felt like killing myself sometimes, just so the pain and frustration will go away. Maybe I'm just weak, or a terrible human being, but I can't take this anymore.
Anyone have any suggestions?
