I’m 18, and I feel trapped. My mom is a single mother of four kids, my ex stepfather was abusive and when they split up she began to rely on me even more. I have been helping raise my siblings since they were born, and I feel like I am trapped in a parent’s role and my mom keeps finding reasons for me to stay. I wanted to go to college after I graduated in 2020, but my mom lost her job due to COVID and I felt guilty for leaving so I stayed. I am now trying to move in with my partner and I just talked to her about it today. She said it’s going to be the end of her life and wouldn’t stop making me feel guilty for wanting to move out even though I offered to help with the kids when she needed it, even though I already have work to worry about. I don’t know how to leave, and I ended up just backpedaling and saying i’d think about staying way longer so she wasn’t on her own. I’m exhausted of having to coparent and give up my life to help my mom, but I don’t know how to tell her no because she is the only parent I have. My dad killed himself and my stepdad doesn’t like me. I need advice because I have no idea what to do. via /r/raisedbynarcissists https://ift.tt/3kL3cxd
