Family Rants 22h
I grew up in a single parent household with four other siblings, and I knew my mom was “mental” and its caused me to have my own problems, but she’s gotten worse through the years. I’m an adult now, but I’m so worried for my siblings living with her 1/2

I barely got out, but because of her I have severe educational gaps, never socialized with many people growing up, and now yes I am in a happy relationship, but I’m very codependent of them. The situation goes much deeper, but just to give an idea, my youngest brother is 14 and his highest education is the first grade. And my other sister recently had to teach him how to tie a shoes. None of our other family want to get involved and I feel so alone on what to do

if it’s not too hard on you (financially and mentally) have you considered looking into adopting them to get them out of the house? if you can’t i’d just say try to help them as much as you can until they’re old enough to get out on their own
