Imagine this: You’re a 20-year-old woman who moves in with her struggling mother to help pay the bills. You’re living in a house that needs a lot of work, and you’re the one doing it. You’re dealing with disrespectful siblings, and you’re the one who’s expected to keep everything running smoothly. Then, your mother gets into a terrible accident and ends up in a wheelchair. You’re the one who steps up, doing everything you can to make her life easier. But instead of gratitude, you’re met with indifference and even hostility. You’re left wondering, ‘Am I the bad guy here?’ ♀️
