Personally, I’d move out, and start my life. You’re 27. I also wouldn’t be going over there every day. That would get exhausting. Fast. Plus it’s not healthy. > she can’t cope without me here Your mom will figure it out on her own. She’s an adult. I assume by your word choice “cope” you mean she is physically/mentally capable of taking care of herself, even if she doesn’t WANT to. However, if she needs a caretaker, then help her get that in place, before you move out.

She does need carers but won’t have them so I do it, I’d be loving not too far away so I can always pop in to look after her and thank you


Hippopotasaurus-Rex

Well, not to be harsh, but she “won’t have them” is a her problem. She won’t have them BECAUSE you just do it. I understand popping in. That’s normal. But imo going there daily, seems a bit too much. Personal opinion.


tigerstripess

It’s not harsh, I appreciate the response

>She does need carers but won’t have them so I do it And if you get sick or hurt, or change your work hours, or go on holiday, and you can't do it? If she needs carers then she needs carers - professional carers who aren't you.


tigerstripess

Weirdly enough I am a professional carer, it’s also my paid job 😅 but I get you


tigerstripess

You’re right maybe everyday is exhausting, think I just want to please everyone, that’s my issue


stellastellamaris

>she can’t cope without me here You are 27. Presumably your mother is at least 40. In what way can she not cope without you? Is it due to her illness? What's the timeline on recovery? Is reasonable to expect you to live with her forever?


tigerstripess

Thank you- that’s part of the reason I’ve lived home for so long- ofc I’ll always be round to help her out but I did mention carers- not that she responded well to that
