Re: Family Issues Rant
Hi @Emmy,
Welcome to the forums!
Sound's like you have a number of stresses in your life at the moment, I'm sorry to hear that.
What do you find has helped in the past when you have found yourself in a similar situation? What has cheered you up when you have felt grumpy in the past? Perhaps some of the other community members may have some advice, or perhaps you might find some of the other threads in the wellbeing section useful?
All the best,
Rooney10

Re: Family Issues Rant
I think i can hear how much you do care for your mum but things are also so difficult for you at the moment! I think a lot of people can relate to the frustration of trying to find work and how hard that time can be. I took a year off of work because i became so unwell that i just couldnt cope iwth life at all.. and even though i had a job to kind of go back to, i didnt know where or what i'd be doing and it was really hard to think or be positive at all in the last few months as i was so anxious.
With your mum, i was thinking that it might be ok to just keep treating her how you would normally, and hopefully with some time she will relax a little bit in her own fears of you leaving her too? I'm not sure though, sounds like she has also had a rough time which is so hard on you too... here listening, hoping that you find the forums helpful, take care 🙂

Re: Family Issues Rant
Hi there @Emmy and welcome. I'm sorry to read about the complexities of your family life. Sometimes when there is massive family conflict, it can really get us down emotionally. Well done for posting a rant about your family issues. I hope sharing these issues helped put them into perspective just a little bit for you.
I know all too well how family conflict can affect someone, I am estranged from my family (although not by my choice). It's a shame your Mum thinks you will leave once you've secured stable employment and is already treating you as if you will indeed leave. That must be leaving you with a lot of mixed feelings, especially when it is not true.
It is good to 'meet' you and look forward to reading more of your story on the boards. Rant away, someone is always listening.
