#overbearing family

June 6, 2020

So I think I’m just going to jump right in. A lot is going on in my life. My dad had a stroke recently and now everyone (meaning my family) expects me to take care of him. I’m constantly ridiculed and criticized about how selfish I am. But am I really selfish because I don’t want to take care of a man who barely took care of himself? Before he had a stroke I would suggest he go outside and take a walk or tell him to stop smoking but I always received extremely hostile backlash. I tried to help him before any of this even happened and now it’s my responsibility to be a caretaker? My family basically told me to stop living my life to take care of my dad. MIND YOU I’m twenty fucking three!
