Elderly mother: assisted living home or live in your home?
Financially I can not build her a guest home or a basement. In fact, I live in a two story home and if she is unable to walk up stairs I could not buy another home to accommodate her. I also could not quit my job (neither could my wife) and I could not pay to have a full time nurse in my house either. Also, my decision is not influenced by my wife. My mother did not take care of me growing up, she actually sent me to live with my father because she needed more time to spend on her BOYFRIEND. She has been controlling and mentally and verbally abusive to myself and my wife as well. These are all reasons why I mentally, emotionally and financially cannot live with my mother.
My 31 year old brother still lives with my parents, jobless, what can i do to help him?
I have a similar situation. My brother who's 37 still lives at home with my parents who are retired and only living on social security. I would get so mad at him and my parents for allowing this. My mom would complain that she never had any extra money and I would tell her to make my brother get a job and help out. After several years of this, my parents finally had had enough and made him grow up and get a job. He now has a job and helps with the household expenses. Until you dad and his wife decide enough is enough, things probably won't change. There's is really nothing you can do to change the situation. Good luck though.
My mom controls my life?
This is what I would like you to say to your mom: Mom, I know you're going to eventually die, so I will have to leave sooner, or later. I want to live my life however I choose to live my life. I would like to find my own home, so I can live independently RIGHT NOW!!! If you speak up, for yourself, and you are not prepared to live independently, then you will regret it. Ummm....That's not good! Since you are miserable at your job, then I think you should look, for, and get a different job. I think you should find a job that you enjoy doing. I am not suggesting, for you to get 2 jobs. Your mom can't legally stop you from moving out, but once you move out from her home, and then you realize you made a mistake, then you can't change your mind!!! What you said should concern you, and I bet you don't realize what you said. I don't think you can survive in the real world on your own.

I Am Very Unhappy With My Life?
I am 18 and live at home with my parents and sister. I just graduated high school and I am going to community college in the fall. I have no motivation to do anything so all I do everyday is sleep and sit doing nothing until it is time to go to sleep again. I've been diagnosed with depression, I'm taking meds which helps. But I'm very unhappy with my life. I want to move out, for example but I don't think I can get a job that pays enough for me to be able to move out. I don't have any friends so I can't get roommates. I'm so tired of living like this. What I really want is to get a job (I've applied to a few places), move out, and begin a new life. My therapist told me to make a plan and that he would help me with it, but I'm afraid there is nothing I can do right now that could change my life. I can't live another day this way, I need change but I don't know what I can do. Any advice? Any help? Please?
