Does anybody still live with their emotional immature parents? If so, how are you setting boundaries? Leaving is not an option for me right now. My dad is battling cancer and both my parents are in their 70’s. They need help both emotionally and financially. I started therapy a year ago and found I had depression, anxiety disorder, and PTSD. It’s been hard to accept that my relationship with my parents was not the one that I thought I had. I’m struggling keeping my head above water right now, but I really love them and want to make sure they are okay. Is there anyway I can still help them, but start focusing on my well-being? I’m in my thirties and still very much scared of everything. They make it hard for me to grow and not feel guilty. But I seriously feel like I cannot remove myself from the situation right now. Any advise in how to practice boundaries or avoid emotional takeovers? :(

I have the same issues with mine. I don't live with them but I am their constantly to check on them. My dad causes so much confusion and has caused the entire family hurt from emotional and physical abuse. He refuses to apologize and take accountability. I have to pray long and hard. Ask God to give you strength and wisdom on how to move forward. Pour your heart out to him. Never love someone more than you love yourself. Peace and blessings
I’ve felt the best move is to either work or just hide in my room or just ignore it. My dad was diagnosed with heart failure in 2012 and my brother was diagnosed with heart failure last year and my mom is just very emotionally immature. Her way of dealing with things is talking about it or making jokes about it or just being really immature about serious situations. I live on a farm and as of right now I’m doing college and running a small hobby beef farm on my own. Take in every second at a time. Step by step. Breathe and when you need to, take time to be alone.

You are in my prayers. I was super stressed living with my parents because of my dad's anger issues. My blood pressure and anxiety was through the roof. I had to take lots of meds to help calm me. Praying for you and your family.
