Tired of waiting and excuses

I’m gonna have to move out. My brother blows up randomly almost every other night now. My mother reacting to him doesn’t make it any better. These people are old enough that they should know better, I think it’s time for me to move on and move out and see what I can do. It’s been far too long in coming, I’m too old to get started. But that’s what has gotta happen if I’m going to survive long term.

I wish I could go back ten or fifteen years to warn myself that I shouldn’t be patient. People don’t change, and their relationships don’t change. At least not for the better.

I’m sorry your family is having such a hard time.

Nothing is more miserable than not being comfortable in your own home.

Maybe it is time to put together a solid plan to get out,

It may not be all that difficult,

Especially if you could handle having a roommate.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I guess that is true in a way. You should have more compassion for your family members.

I know they probably can’t help the way they are, but I gotta have at least some compassion for myself. I’ve taken their long-standing fight out on myself too long, time to start doing what’s right for me.
