Ok, I have a oppurtunity to get out of a situation and move on with my life. I have been giving my brother and his family a home for the past two years, I am watching their son grow up and find myself wondering why are they still living with me. My brother can't find work as he is partialy disabled, his girlfriend doesn't work. I live in a 300 square foot studio apt with all of them, yes it is crowded. I can not have a real life with my extended family constantly up my butt. All they do is sleep and live under my roof, at least they buy their own food. My point is that there are several furs looking for room mates and I have a steady job. My issue is that I am trapped because of the family card. I am supposed to give my family a home because that is what society expects of me. I am miserable because of this, I want to have a life and maybe someday a mate. I can't do this if I continue to help my brother but if I abandon him then I have that guilt to deal with. I am torn as to what to do. I know that any decision I make is mine alone to make. Guess this is just a vent journal. Sorry to bother anyone with my problems.
