I just feel stressed when my parents are around me. My dad is always trying to make other people feel dumb so he can be “the smartest person in the room” (his actual words). And my mom...I don’t know what her problem is exactly. Sometimes she’s fine, but other times it’s like she needs SO much sympathy and attention for the smallest things. Like if I don’t acknowledge that she bumped her arm on something, she’ll say “don’t you care if I’m alright?!” Or “don’t you care about me?!?!” I feel like sometimes she expects me to put my own needs and wants on the back burner so I can meet hers first. It doesn’t help that I live with them still while I’m finishing school. So it’s hard to find comfort at home. :/ Even my grandma told me that I’ve had to raise myself since my parents act like children.
