What to do with my mother?

Everyday I wonder…  Who is going to take care of my mom?  Who’s going to make sure she’s not alone (since my dad’s gone)?

I’m 22 years old and half of every week is spent with my mom because no one else cares if she’s alone.  We go to dinner and watch movies etc.  The things that I want in life and the things that make me happy tend to disagree with staying home and hanging out with mom and a 28 year old brother who works at Best Buy (and who’s girlfriend/fiancee’/spawn of satan also lives here).

It sucks to think that my mom might be alone, but I’m the only one trying.  Is it really my responsibility to make sure she has a life?!  No one in my family wants to come over for Thanksgiving because they hate my brother and the thing and its 100 pound mutt, so my mom gets all weepy and “woe is me” and throws a tantrum like a child.  She could fix it as easily as it started… but she prefers her world of no confrontations and Kumbayah, which leaves everyone in speculation and tension (In case you are considering this as a life path…. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!).

 I have gotten to the point where I don’t think it’s my job alone to take care of her.  My only job is to make sure I am happy and that I’m doing the right things for the right reasons.

FUCK THIS PLACE and/or anyone who gets in my way…

Thank You :D
