Nope. Just my mother. But too many people coddle her and expect me to do the same.

Not everyone has a great family. Sorry, but not everyone lives or comes from the same kind of family. I know that’s hard to believe, but damn don’t be insensitive. Also most of us are college students. So it’s not surprising that a lot of people have similar experiences.

I agree I mean I’m sure it’s the vocal minority like it always is but I hardly ever see positive family talk on this app. It’s sad, actually

i’m aware. i’m not trying to make you or anyone else feel bad about toxic family relationships. we all have them. i’m saying it’s not okay to diagnose yourself or your family members if you’re not a mental health specialist, or justify further toxic behaviors with weaponized therapy language. it can lead to a lot more damage and trauma than needed. i think family therapy to communicate better with each other isn’t as normalized as it should be. deep down they’re probably struggling just as much.

I’ve done that my whole life and I’m bone tired of it. I’ve felt like I’m the grown up since I was 7 yrs old.

i’ve also had to grow up at a younger age bc of this. people who coddle toxic family members are probably also afraid or hurt by them but are worried to lose them. if she or your other family members aren’t open to counseling and getting help then it’s fair to say that they’re walking on a path you can’t follow. sometimes that needs to be explicitly communicated to them.
