I love my parents. But they are relying upon me too much.
I still live with my parents. I am 32 years old. I have been sick for a long time. I have suffered from OCD all of my life. But in the past year or so, I have gotten well enough to start working. Before, I couldn't even hold down a job.
My step dad is a nice guy. He is thoughtful. But he is not going to work many days. He stays home because he is "sick." He is depressed. He has dealt with many deaths in his family. He is basically all that is left. He has a sister, but she is not close to him. She seems to be avoiding him.
My Mom is sick. She is disabled. She is capable of working part time, but she keeps staying at home and sleeping. Our kitchen is dirty- borderline filthy. I try so hard to keep the kitchen clean, but my parents don't do a lot in terms of cleaning the kitchen/house.
We have had a lot of financial problems lately. I keep having to loan them money- many many thousands of dollars. What can I do?
