My mom always says her children are her purpose and I find it unhealthy. My younger sibling still lives with my parents, so the nest isn’t empty, but she places a lot of emotional burden on us because her marriage is toxic and even working a lot and having her hobbies isn’t enough to offset it. So instead of divorcing my father and focusing on her mental and physical health, she uses us as sort of an emotional crutch. I just don’t get it.
