Hello you all out there.
I've recently had to move in with my Mom because of my Dad's apartment being moldy. And now we are here with her and I am here cooking and caring for my Dad with NO HELP from her. Like I know that we are staying here with her but shouldn't she at LEAST help me with him or am I tripping? This is SO HARD because I don't like her and I know her malicious intentions for my Dad because she doesn't care about him and she just wants her money and of course my Dad doesn't understand that. What do you guys suggest I do or how am I going to get through this? And to make matters worse my Dad thinks that we all should all come together and live together and of course I oblige VERY MUCH!
Please someone tell me how can I get through this because I have so much animosity and anger against her. It's so much that I want to say to her but I can't because of this situation and you know how it is when you live with someone.
Any suggestions are welcome please.
It isn't that I don't sympathise with how hard it is to be caring for your father; but from your mother's point of view it sounds as though she doesn't want him or you staying there. And you're expecting her to share the domestic workload? - well, thinking of it from that angle, yes I'm afraid you probably are tripping!
The key thing must be to get his apartment sorted out and get him home. Is that going to be possible? If not, what else is on offer?
If you don't mind my asking (and/or you feel like venting?) how did it come about that your parents separated, and how long ago?
