I am currently living with my retired father for over two years. Since his retirement, I have been responsible for all household expenses and tasks, including cleaning, cooking, and buying groceries.
Recently, our refrigerator broke downn, which led to a significant frustration and emotional breakdown for me. It made me realize how much I have been doing on my own while others seem to only think of themselves.
There are also numerous times where I cooked a meal and it was left untouch for the whole day, only for me to figure out that the food has gone bad and now I have to throw it away.
It’s a frustrating cycle. I pay for the food. I cook the food. I throw the food. I wash the plate. Not to mention that these acts of service are unappreciated. It’s something categorized that “I’m obliged to do.”
Everything dawned upon me that I have been doing everything all by myself.
I have four siblings: two biological sisters and two stepbrothers. All moved out before me.
My abusive stepmother left my father some time ago when he retired.
Now me and my father are the only one’s left in his house.
Given this situation, I'm uncertain whether I should accept my current circumstances? or if it would be reasonable for me to uproot myself and live alone to rid me of this unpleasant situation?
