What are you waiting for?
Ive been living with my mom since my dad got sick. Ive been taking care of her since he passed away. A few weeks ago, my mom told me "You dont have to stay here if you dont want to" she didnt say it in a "get the Hell out of my house" kind of way, she told me she meant it as she didnt want to feel responsible for me putting my life on hold to take care of her.
About two weeks ago, I had asked her if she would have a problem with me giving her money if I moved out. She started crying and said "So youre just gonna leave me here? Like your brothers and sister did?" Which I felt was kinda a guilt trip. She JUST told me I could move out if I wanted to. The thing is, I cant afford to move out AND support her. Ive oddly become a single child once my dad died seeing as my other siblings cant be bothered to help.
My sister moved to Colorado, leaving behind a condo she hasnt been able to sell. She told me I could move in and all she would charge me would be the associtation fees. (theyre only $365 a month) Which means, I actually WOULD be able to move out and continue to support my mom. And if I got a roommate, it would be even easier. The thing is, I know my mom doesnt want to be in the house alone. We were broken into back in August and now she's afraid every time I leave for work. I dont come home til late. Would moving out be selfish of me? I need some privacy and it WOULD be nice to have a conversation with another adult besides my mom or some drunk at work.
Anyone?
