28 and still living at home

Hi

I'm 28 and still live with my dad, I have a 22 month old daughter and another 1 on the way, I have never left home everytime I think about it I get panicky, I suffer from depression that has grown worse since my brother died 7 years ago. If I move out my dad has nowhere to live we only got the house because I've got a child, we splot all the bills in half, and the housework and dinner, I just needed someone to say it's not weird

It's not weird, honestly.

You have properly explained the reasons why you need to live with your dad .

So you are 28 and I am sorry to hear of your brothers death as that will have hit your hard. Bereavement is never easy and I know for myself it's taken me coming on for three years to even accept my mother's death and though she was manipulative etc I have still suffered from what could be referred to as "complex grief".

Some people live with one parent or both parents all their life. It really is ok as long as it's ok with you.

I am sorry you suffer from depression ; it is horrible; but you are in the right place to look and get support off others.

Hi it's not weird at all and I think it is very sensible to share bills like this. It sounds like your dad is living with you anyway and not the other way round.

I am sorry about your brother. It's always horrible when a loved one passes.

As long as you are all happy with the arrangement then there is no problem. x
