writes:Help, iam overly overwhelmed with my life right know, this is the deal, I’ am 22 and I feel like I have the weight on the world on my shoulders…..1st…my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, psychofrenia, I was 13-14. Growing up I saw my mom struggle with 4 children and dealing with my dad’s illnesses. I tried going to college and I did for 4 semesters, but I could not handle going to school and working full time and the stress I had….so I dropped out, now I have 2 jobs, to help my mom, dad, and little sister (12). I sometimes feel resentful towards my 2 other siblings for leaving me with this responsibility. My older sister just left and got married to my ex best friend cousin that she only knew for 4 months, she’s always been immature and selfish. And my little brother (20) got his high school girlfriend pregnant and moved out…I don’t hate them but I feel like I have put my life to the side for my parents. I know my mom needs me, I make 3x the money she makes, not only that but she needs my moral support. I really would love to move on my own, but I don’t have the heart to do that…my little sister worries me, she’s very rebellious and she does not obey/respects my parents as she respects me. If I leave I know she will be out of control...iam always thinking of others except me, I want to travel, have my time. Be a normal 22 year old girl….iam very depressed at times, and I feel like sometimes my mother expects everything from me.

 I'm really sorry that you're going through all this! This is a giant load for anyone to bear and you are very strong for putting up with all of this.I can see that you really want to help your family, but you can't fix everyone's problems. You have to live your own life. You can move out on your own and still visit your family and help your mom out when you can. It's okay. You don't have to be the savior for anyone.Try making some small changes, like getting a new part time job, treating yourself once in a while, going away for a weekend. There's joy out there waiting to be found. Also, guys do marry women even with bad credit. Credit can always be cleaned up but love is hard to find. Good luck. Please keep us posted. I will think good thoughts for you. *hug*

tammye17 is verified as being by the original poster of the question also i have to take crap @ work..i work at a law firm and its so stressful and overwhelming...sometimes i go to the bathroom and cry....and the other part time its a shit hole..my life is a mess....my credit has gone down the drain paying all bills, what man would marry someone with bad credit..its embarresing to me. I feel so alone at times, iam always told that iam verry atractive but i dont even feel like that, and my love life is a complete mess..iam dating someone i shoulnt, i have no future with him, but i have fallen for him, 3 years into nothing....
