I live with my parents, sister, grandmother and her care taker. I don’t have a great relationship with my father – i know he is ill but i can never forgive him. My grandmother is horrible, she used to manipulate my father and turn him against my mother. I cannot believe we still live together.

Coming to my mother, we usually have conversations about the latest scandals, extended family gossip and news. I leave for work around 7:30am and comeback by 5pm. I eat and hit the bed straight away – i am on my phone during this time. Due to really horrible fights and issues caused by my grandmother – my mother, sister and I share a bedroom. My father has his own and so does my grandmother. I depend on my mother a lot at home – she is the one that wakes me up everyday. She even checks on me from time to time – go bath, eat now,etc. However, i am never able to get her to listen to why i don’t get moving. Like GL, said i probably am expecting too much from her and she is already doing a lot of things i could do on my own – that i am taking for granted.
