we can have a combined monthly income of 13,700$ and not pay the bills on time?! Seriously, it should not be this fucking hard!

And mum’s “brilliant” new plan? She’s going to sell the house, and we’re going to move into apartments.

EXCUSE ME?!

First of all, we worked out

I don't know your whole family situation... but every time someone complains about the family they live with, I feel blessed -- both because my family situation is stable with absolutely no drama, AND because I've been living on my own since age 21. I know it's not possible for everyone to leave their parent(s), though. I just wish you could. Because you deserve your own life. <3

So, how do you take care of your grandma if someone else takes care of YOU?

[saitaina]

I no longer take care of my grandmother due to the stress and my own illnesses, she has an official home healthcare worker that takes care of her (which makes three of us, kind of sad).

I did live on my own for four years, but I returned home to help out my mother with money and the house...didn't think she would attmempt to bleed me dry, or that I would get this ill.

heh, she actually yelled at me today because I only have 5$ to my name and demanded to know what I was spending it on, I tried to explain to her that 388 (overdraft from paying the phone last month)+ 175 (Mum's healthcare) + 25 (rent remainder) + 65 (smokes + small splurge at a local festival) +35 (credit card) is all of my money MINUS the five I have left.

...she didn't believe me.

Also, yay for using the icon I made! It always cheers me up to see people enjoying my work!

Aww, yay, glad I actually COULD do something to cheer you! <3 Someone complimented another Palps one you made on another account.

It must have been really hard to go back after 4 years of freedom, eh?
