As far back as I can remember I've had responsibility or felt like an adult! I have three younger siblings which my parents had in quick succession. Both my parents worked so the responsibility of looking after them in every sense of the way fell to me!
ReplyDeleteI remember the summer holidays and everyone was playing out and I was at the kitchen window washing nappies. It was like this most of my life until I left home at 16 and started a family of my own and the cycle continued.
I went to college to train to work with disaffected young people and have had that role for 20 years.
I tried therapy a couple of times but when my mother was asked to join a session her response was I made my mistake with her and wasn't going to do it with the others.
I'm so tired that I could just lie down and go to sleep as I know there is no Prince Charming for me not just to take care if me but take care of each other. I've also been told I'm a natural carer and that's why I do it but I don't want to do it never have. I used to think I was the only one who felt like this but it's good to know I'm not.
Please don't leave it as long as me to find your voice and seek help sooner 😂
