I'm 21 and live with my mum and 19 y.o sister. My mum relies quite heavily on me financially, but I'm sick of her asking how much money I have in the bank. It's invasive and I normally have to lie and say I have less because I've worked damn hard for this money and sacrificed a lot to save it up and now I'm in a job where I don't get much work so it's not as high as it was. But if I say the real amount she'll want to buy all this stuff we don't need and not feel bad because I can pay the bills (it happened before). I can't say I don't want to tell you because she's very emotionally fragile and will yell at me, then ignore me for the rest of the day.
All she thinks about is money and our lack of it.
My mum has no friends, my sister has no friends, I have one but she only txts me if she's bored or wants to hang if her boyfriend is out, so not much of a friend. My sister doesn't work (hasn't since she left school 4 years ago) She's not on any pension/allowance either. I want to study at tafe but I can't afford it and anything I suggest that I want to study mum always knocks it back by saying 'are you going to make money quickly with it' or 'what if you don't get a job straight away, how will we survive?'
I don't know what to do and I'm at the point where I'm so upset with my life that I'll just break down in tears at any random moment.
I know it's stupid to post stuff like this on here, but it's the only forum I feel comfortable in right now and I just needed to get it off my chest...I have no one else to talk to.
Please don't suggest going to a shrink or counsellor, I know it's an option but not one I'm comfortable in taking right now. I just wanted to hear an outsiders opinion.
