Need advice on a situation?

[relax24]

Everyone here has abandoned and betrayed me and my grandmother. I've tried my best to be there for her. but at the same time, it's not fair to put all that weight on me. Whenever I get stuck and need help, I've got no support. And that's why I think it's time to get away from this place. My grandmother is really upset and thinks it's a bad idea. and I'm suffocating and can't breathe because I feel like a rock stuck in a hard place. This is a time I really wish I had someone to talk to...

Are there no social workers or anything like that where you live? Government support? They could know what options there are and help you find a solution. Asking for help when you need it is an important skill.

there are social workers but you need to pay for them which is like $40 - $50 an hour. and government support isn't really an option

Wow sorry. I don't know it sounds difficult. My grandparents lived together until my grandma couldn't handle the daily tasks anymore so they went to an old folks home for their last years. And my grandma cntinued to go buy food at the supermarket because she was so used to it. They declined in health pretty quickly because they didn't have as much of a structure anymore. So I don't know how to handle this situation. It'll be difficult for me when my mom gets that old.

Yeah it really is difficult. it's basically i stay here and help my grandma. but if i ever get stuck or need help i have nobody. or i move away from this place and just start over. I just hope in your case you have a supporting love family. that will actually be there for you. and not abandon you. leaving to take care of someone all on your own.

My dad went back to Canada and my sister we don't really have a relationship I think it will be mostly me but my mom has a lot of friends they might help out. I hope you will find a good path for yourself.

it sucks that things turn out like this but we can't control what others do. I wish you an amazing journey as well.
