This is a Vent Thing (its also related to family so idk if it belongs here)
This is a lot so bear with me please.
So lately it feels like my family is deteriorating. Well its already not really been a thing to begin with because I only have my bio dad. My bio mom decided to go do drugs instead of try to be involved and raise her kids so Ive had to raise my brothers. Anyways shes not in the picture because her rights were terminated.
Right now my stepmom is in the process of adopting us. The whole time shes been wanting to adopt us. Like been supportive and everything. But lately it feels like she doesn't and I would rather her just admit it then like not.
Im the oldest of 4 kids (atleast rn in the household). So naturally responsibilities are watching kids and helping out with simple things like cleaning and stuff.
Its over the top now. I come home I clean the entire house, I cook dinner every night, I go pick up my siblings and watch them and am expected to be in charge of them even when the other adults are home bc apparently they don't want to deal with them. idk.
I just want to move out bc its not the fact that I'm doing all this stuff its the fact that nothing I do is good enough. They always complain about something I did and its starting to effect me, hence why the "babysitting" issue is amplified.
Im not trying to sound ungrateful or rude or lazy or idk what you want to call it. Im just idk.

It sounds like the feeling something is not right is recent.
if she has cooled on the adoption is your dad and stepmom relationship working.... I mean if that was rocky, I could see her reevaluating this move.
@toughTiger6481
I mean they've been fighting a lot recently but I never really saw that as affecting this I guess.
Update: we got our adoption date
@brightDime6765 I’m so sorry that you’re going through this, the same thing is kinda happening to me. When I was 3 my mom left me with stranger and she got arrested, after that I had to go to the adoption center where I got adopted by my dad, he’s single but the best, it’s really hard to talk about this but she did the same thing to my older brother, I recently found out I’m adopted last month. I hope your doing well, and best of wishes!
@Ilovefood346 I also sometimes seem like I wanna never come back and runaway of how stressful it is at home, my grandma screams at me nonstop and sometimes hits me, I have to do things for myself when my dads not home and it’s just me and my grandma.
