My family's been broke for 3 years now

6 months ago · 3 · Stress, +4


132

Basically , I used to have a stable lifestyle when my mom's business was doing good enough but then the pandemic hit and her business went downhill real fast . I didn't have a dad growing up and he never supported us financially. Her business is in deep debt and her lenders often come up to the house and start screaming and threating her infront of all the neighbours . This has also led us to go to the police too many times and even I have been given life threats . I see my friends going out , enjoying and shopping all the time but i can't take part in it. I try to act like it doesn't bother me but for the last few months it's been . Everytime I try to talk to my mom about this problem , she tells me how ungrateful I am and there was a time when I had seen good so it's my time to see the bad . I already have diagnosed depression and anxiety for a long time now and I can't seek help properly cause it's gonna cost us money . I sound like a spoilt brat but i am literally getting so sad all the time about this.

    I’m having the same issue with mom and I feel you because I also got so stressed out when it happen to me recently. It is so hard to reason with my mom and everytime I tried to talk to her, she kept saying I’m also ungrateful. It’s really hard to see my parent suffer financially because I also feel like I’m one of the reason we’re suffering. Anyway please dont stress out about it. If you can’t make them understand how you feel let them make it out of their own.

    i hear ya. it's not easy to have such big changes in your life. your mom is sad, too, you know. she might not have said it the right way, but she is right. you are a family. you have to pull together through the good times and the bad. you can pitch in and help, even if it is just figuring out ways to make her smile. i personally would rather struggle with someone i love than struggle without them. wouldn't you? being supportive of your family and learning how to struggle with them and not against them is important.
