I live with my mom who's dyinng of everything and my ex-addict brother who recently moved in after loosing his family for being unable to control his addicition (yet he was totally clean, wife just freaked).

Im 20, male, working 40-50 hours a week at a resteraunt trying to help support us, mom is on unemployment, brother works too. Trying to keep sanity within this misery.

I feel shoved somewhere and screwed, haha...

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Thank you for the responses guys :). I've been handling it well so far, like dappled said, I've found ways to take my mind off things :).

    Unfortunatly parents dying is not a good thing, but to feel you have to stop living is the worse part. Life is a oddball and sometimes you have to be selfish and say what about me.

    Sounds like you need a break from this at times. Is there anything you can do or anywhere you can go which will take your mind off it for a few hours?
