Brief background; DH died about 18 months ago leaving me and 3 young adults. One in particular suffered some serious mh issues. Been trying to support them through the grief etc and trying to build a life for myself. 2 dc seem to be coming to terms still good days and bad but doing ok. Dc with mh not so much but lately I feel like she is playing me. Doesn’t leave her room but I can hear her laughing and talking to friends on line all hours of the day and night. I’m not working at the moment so end up doing everything. Have asked them for help but they all say they will but do very little. Final straw I went away last week with 4 friends for a week. Had a lovely time but was feeling a little sad coming home as all their husbands were waiting for them and mine wasn’t ?. What made it worse was when I arrived home Dc with mh didn’t even get off her computer to speak to me until she want me to answer the door for a take away,another came through the door moaning about work but eventually said we’ll talk about your holiday later, lucky me . 3rd dc did come in from work and ask if I had a nice time. I sat and cried all night. Just felt so lonely and disappointed. My immediate instinct is to pack my bags and go and stay with my sister who lives abroad but it means I give up the friends I have etc. I know a lot of this is my fault. I thought I was helping them after they lost their dad but it had just made me a doormat and I’m sick of it all.In the past I have tried family meetings, written chore charts and even left everything to pile up but they all just left things til it was filthy. Would kick them all out but rent is extortionate here and can’t do it. Just feel so flat. Any ideas ???
