How to find the right balance?
Anxiety Support / by shlwlve

...See more Hi there, Tonight I was feeling so anxious about taking care of my toxic parents even though I was going to live in my own life soon. As a LGBTQ person, I already expected that my parents would discriminate me and basicially being unsupportive of my future like they don't want me to leave them, it feels like they are manipulating and controlling me. At that moment, I learned on becoming emotionally and mentally strong like I didn't let their criticisms get in the way of my dreams and I just believed in myself that I can do better than this. But the thing is, how can I take care of my disabled older sibling and my toxic parents in a distant way (like I don't even need to become physically in-contact or close with them) It's because one day, I wanted to have my peace of mind to just continue the things that I love doing, but it does not mean I don't love them anymore, it's just that I wanted to focus on my own goals first but at the same time, I can still take care of them, in a distant way even though that they didn't deserve it. Like how can I find the right balance on living with my own life and taking care of my parents in a distant manner? I honestly been worrying about this every single day. So I hope there is someone out there that could give me some suggestions and advices - because I have nobody else to talk to here on my house. Been looking for online support groups, recently. I hope I could find one someday.
