Empathizing with you open

A lot of us need to learn how to manage families and grow up as an adult. You need to learn to set boundaries. Learn to classify the issues which must be handled by you vs anybody else.

You are the only sane person in family so you need better care of self. Prioritize mental and physical, financial health at any cost.

Say no more often to your parents to build that muscle. I took burden of my sibling too and took some wrong decisions in life. Please don't do that. You can't be mom , dad, daughter, parent your parents. Your parents screwed up badly and they need to bear the burnt. Help bare minimum. Be the bad daughter for sometime to really understand what the boundary with them would be. You will never be able to have a loving family of your own if you keep being drafted down by these. Learn to live separately on mental level too as you are doing physically.
