I’m in a similar position, almost exactly as you described in some areas. Honestly, you are your own adult, assuming you’re an adult or about to be. At some point, they’re gonna have to figure things out without you. You aren’t obligated to be an emotional pillar 24/7. You are their child, you are a brother/sister, not their dedicated therapist.

I would say try communicating to your mom about your feelings and if that doesn’t work maybe go to therapy.
