Who do some parents treat the child that is always there for them the worst? My mom had me late 40s , in a small little town that i’ve always hated, and i’ve always been the one to put my life on hold to be there for her. She is single and every since i’ve been an adult she’s been “older” and i’ve always given up stuff because she doesn’t want to live alone or can’t really do much for herself such as drive etc. I’ve always been treated like I was suppose to been doing it by all of my older siblings. Anyway im never treated as well as my older siblings, im the one everything is blamed fr. Im always left out and everyone is pretty much mean to me, even her most times. Always put me down , was controlling, and never let me do anything. My ex turned out to be abusive , I left him and she even use to take up for him a lot. I’ve never felt good a lot. We all lived together. Even now ill get judged if I date or anything ,even though im an adult. Today I didn’t want to do something and she said “You’re going to be left all alone in this world” , That caught me by surprise and really upset me being I’ve given up a lot of opportunities and things to be there for her out of guilt and obligation. There are times I left but she wanted me to come back& I felt guilty that she’d be alone so I did. I don’t really regret it because I know that its a choice at the end of the day but sometimes I sit back and wonder how differently things would be, and if it’s too late for me to create a life I love . Anyone else been in a similar situation and left??
