I'm 20 and have a 9 month old son. I'm trying to do right by me and for him. Just trying to figure out what right is. I'm an open book and kindness overcomes all.

How do I tell my mom I’m moving out (and won’t be her caregiver)?

...See more I need advice on a tough situation with my mom. She recently asked me again about being her caregiver in the future. In the past, I’ve said yes, but this time I told her I’d get back to her when I had less work stress. She pressed me, saying “It’s just yes or no, nothing has changed unless you’re making other plans.” The truth is, I am making other plans. I’m planning to move out soon with my boyfriend and my son, and I know that means I can’t realistically be her caregiver. I’ve never told her “no” before, and I’m really anxious about her reaction. I feel like she’ll see it as me abandoning her, even though I need to think about my own little family and future. Has anyone else had to tell a parent you’re moving out and not going to fill the role they expected you to? How did you handle that conversation without it turning into a huge fight? I’d really appreciate advice on both what to say and how to cope with the guilt and fear that come with it.
