Toxic family member, and can't afford to move out?

[Anonymous]

Hi. Wanna vent something out in hopes someone can give some good advice.
I passed nclex (nursing) recently ects.
After finishing school i had to move back in w my mom & its been very rough ever since.
She’s constantly yelling at my brother, & pops off for any reason. I feel like a failure because im 26 dont want to be around her toxic energy but i have to because i dont have a choice rn.
Im still im my current job working to save up & leave! But her energy is so emotionally draining it’s literally causing me depression apart from not having the funds to move out on my own yet. I don’t know anyone that is more draining than her.
Im sick of it.

tons of people are older than you and in your same spot. you have to wait until the country gets back in order because... it is not good or smart right now to not live at home. sadly and unfortunately.

at least she's not yelling at you. once the yelling starts again, just get up and head out. go to the library or something until you feel okay to go back home.

Wait until the country gets back in order ohhh goddd. I can't even breathing the same air as her we are so different.

i know how you feel, i've been through it too

Yep, here's the ticket. I assume you have set your departure goals? If not do so. Then tell yourself about how it won't be long before you'll be out and in your own place entertaining some nice gentleman. Then think about where you want to live and get to fixing like you want.

She sounds like my dad.




Find a roommate to where you don’t have to pay rent by yourself.




Otherwise just avoid her as much as possible

Even still I don't know a nurse whos not in the $85K range starting salary!! Where are you that you can't get out? I left at 18. Came back for 7 months. Pulled the gun out of my mouth wondering why i came back and moved the fuck out no matter the cost. Best decision I ever made,!!

Why can’t you afford to move? You’re getting free housing right now?
