I'm tired...No, completely exhausted. Our "home" is a
mess...My mother is oblivious to the chaos and I'm enabling her. I am 27, a
grad student, and I've been cleaning up after my mom since I could walk.
Furthermore, she hasn't held a job for more than 6 months--my sister
and I are her only means of support. I know she needs me, but I feel like
I've never really had a chance to be ME.
I've never felt like a kid, or a young adult. It's like I'm raising my
mother. I can't relate to any of my peers, and I don't think I'll ever
connect with anyone. Frankly, I don't want to anymore...I'd just love a
quiet, spare, place to myself.
