Who lives with their parents and how do you find it?

I live with my parents.

My mum really scares me I think I’m terrified of turning into her that’s why since I resemble her.
Looks wise.
And her dissociation is awfully scary, like mine

Living with my dad is chilled. But I just feel so pressured to leave I don’t want him to have to work so hard job wise cos of me :((

He is 71 for gdness sake makes me feel awful I need to show my appreciation more to him and with my mum it’s difficult to show it thou cos she’ll find stuff to complain about

My fiancée and I live in the guest house, Mother has the main house.

I spend a bit of time with her and at the main house. Hang out. But also have a quiet place to retreat to when I need. My safe space.

It’s a great set up.

I live at home with my mom-- glad I was accepted to live there with open arms. It’s fine for the most part. She sometimes nags me about certain things, but that’s kinda what parents do :upside_down_face:

We hang out some, and she’s usually at home in time for dinner, which is nice.

I pay for my some of my groceries and things I need with the money I make at the yoga studio to offset some of the cost of me living at home.

She (and I, too) wants me to be independent someday, but she’s willing to accommodate me for as long as I need, so I’m really lucky.

I’m lucky in that I don’t need to pay a full blown London rent, thou I still pay rent thou
And I pay for my own food.

Financially it’s a good set up

But mentally not so much cos of my mum

Your set up sounds really good, it’s nice that she is willing to have you for as long as you want

And it must be quite heart warming to hang out too with her some

Wow yea @anon90843118-- can imagine that rent in London is sky-high right now.

It’s great that you contribute to rent and your food if you’re able to-- if it takes the load off the parentals, which is a good thing for sure.

Sorry your mom can be a bit of a trigger for you. I hope things change for the positive between you guys. My mom and I didn’t always get along-- we used to fight a lot. But I think she understands that I’m going through ■■■■ at times with the illness, and also I’ve matured a little bit, so the situation has mellowed out.

It’s actually nice sometimes-- something I thought I’d never say back in high school :laughing:

I used to live with my mother and some siblings.

I consider at times moving back home. I’m unsure though. Living alone is sort of nice.

I live with my mom and dad. It’s really nice, I help pay for groceries and bills with my SSDI (not that they need my help, but I wanna contribute somehow). Without them, I’d be homeless. So I try to comply with the few rules they have, lol.

I stopped living with my parents in 1981 . There was quite a lot of-

I was given no preparation for independent living . My mental illness added to the things my parents could say they argued with each other over .

I only progressed to some degree when I left hospital with my future wife . Other people’s mileage will be different .
