known the bare minimum to get through their day to day.

And it's been the way of life for me to translate every piece of mail, like business documents, take time off school and work to go with them to like doctor's appointments and, you know, like, um, car repairs to the bank, like all of those things that come up, that's like outside of the daily routine.

Um, and now that they are aging and, um,

you know, their health is deteriorating and things like that.

They've gotten so dependent on me that I'm unable to like make plans for my life.

And if anything, they're starting to imply that I really can't plan anything because I need to be here to take care of them.

Okay.

Okay.

Um, I am choosing to take time off work to take them to various appointments and I am choosing, uh, to not make plans for the rest of my life so I can stay here and take care of my parents.

I was married once before.

I am dating again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So recently, I did try to set some boundaries.

And, you know, I don't think I went about it the right way because it was somewhat escalated inside an argument.

Sure.

And essentially what I told him was, like, I need him to please make his own decisions and, like, be an adult, you know?

Yeah.

And he...

hung up on me and he's giving me the silent treatment since.
