My mom and my twin have been bickering for a decade now, and I get it from both ends. That's annoying enough, but I'm in a period where I could really use emotional support, and when I ask them for it, they turn it into an excuse to blame the other for my confusion.
My twin advises me to quit my job (which I'm good at but don't like), move out of my apartment, and take out loans to go back to school. I express reservation about this (she's never had good history with $), and she accuses me of being "controlled by Mom" and "trying to please Mom."
Mom? She congratulates me for staying at the job, tells me that one job's just like another (don't bother changing), and wishes I opted for trade school rather than college. She then turns it into a chance to snipe at my sister's job-hopping and financial disasters.
Any advice other than just not speaking to either?
