    Wow, my story is so similar. I left home eight years ago and couldn't be happier to be on my own. Unfortunately my brothers are 32 and are still supported by my parents at home. And yes, they are emotionally dependant on my mom for everything unfortunately. And she agrees with keeping them dependant. From my research I found that enablers are not nice but abusive because they discourage an independent life. This is toxic behaviour. 😯

    We were all talking at work one time about leaving home being on our own. My co-worker said she came from a large family, she was the eldest and the first to leave home at 18. Then she came back, left, came back again. Her father then said that she was setting a bad example for her 10+ siblings and told her to choose carefully where she lands next because she can't come back. She said it was one of the most sobering , first grown up moment of her life. She managed to manage, and later thanked her father for helping her grow all the way up.

      @@gtmusica You have to set an example for your younger siblings. It's time to launch yourself into the world and become your own person, apart from your parents and siblings. It's time to prepare to grow up and possibly create your own family unit in time. It's not the time to look back, it's time to go forward and be an adult. I know it's scary, I was on my own at 17, I was still in high school. Yeah I was scared, but I was brave enough to do it, had a job, paid rent, but I had the freedom to shape my own life, and after looking back I was never sorry for it. It served me well to be self reliant emotionally, money wise, and in every other way. My brother was on his own at 16. It's not like my parents didn't care, they just let us go when we wanted to, because they raised us to be independent.

    37 years old and still living at home?! Good grief!! I was out at 18 because I wanted to be an adult. I moved back home when I was 20, but only because I got sick and needed a lot of help. However, my parents gave me an ultimatum. As soon as I was medically cleared, I had to do at least one of three things- A) go back to school, B) find a job, or C) do community service. I also had to obey all the house rules. If I didn't, I'd find my stuff on the curb, and I'd have to go live somewhere else. Being the smart, respectful, driven young adult that I was, I did all of those things, and I am now out on my own, working, happily married, and taking online classes to be a veterinary technician- a dream that I have been dying to chase for many years. All this because my parents gave me a little guidance and pushed me to move on with my life.

    WOW just stumbled on this video. This is almost exactly like my wife's 2 brothers, except they're 37 and 41. EXACTLY. Just like Dave said, the mother is a horrible enabler, as are my in-laws. Likewise my mother in law is a super nice lady. Its really sad, because both the parents and 2 brothers lives are destroyed. At 37 & 41 and still at home, there is almost no way they'll ever reach independence.

    Thank you Dave...I grew up in a very sheltered household... Always being told what not to do. Don't do this, don't watch that, don't listen to that junk on the radio... I don't have many memories of being encouraged in the other direction, just a lot of "Thou Shalt Nots".. and yet my parents really are very very "nice" and wholesome. My mom is literally becoming the sweet little old lady you meet at the supermarket. My dad never raised his voice at anyone, never had any alcohol, cigarettes or drugs in his life, never cheated on my mom. I just feel like they didn't prepare me for what the world was really like.
    I had a job working about 35 hours per week, with benefits, and lost it after almost 7 years because of back problems (caused by the job) and arthritis in both knees (I'm in my mid-30s, not exactly old yet). Except for living in their house, I pay all my own bills, take care of my car, have my own phone plan etc, thank God for an index fund that pays good. I help around the house with the chores, I try not to be a freeloader. I'm looking for work so I can get out on my own, but I physically am unable to do most of the work I'm actually qualified for, and some days I just want to self destruct. Most entry level jobs dont pay nearly enough to keep up with the cost of living. I'm a college grad and people expect me to be happy with high school wages. It's only slightly better than actual slavery. It's very depressing to be in this type of situation, my heart goes out to those who are really trying and not getting anywhere.
    P.s. I love the Volunteer gear!

I know friends who been living with parents since college 10 years... and when I talk to them about roommates, moving, taking different jobs they basicallly say everything is too expensive...and then go on vacations and trips. military could have helped both those two with just 4 years.. what happens if she dies.

    • @elavaney6018
      @elavaney6018 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      What happens if Mom dies is that these two are going to find themselves utterly without the emotional or physical resources to support themselves, and trying to find a job when you're in your 30s and haven't worked is next to impossible. These two will have to try to get on some sort of disability and prove that they are too emotionally fragile to work. Or they can try to find another relative to take over their support besides their brother who isn't going to you can bet. I have extended family with a similar situation that I worry about night and day.

  • @privateprivate8366
    @privateprivate8366 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Reminds me of my situation.
    My mother was to leave us each a property. Since I was the child she was closest to and we did things for one another, while my sister has mostly been absent until my mother started showing signs of dementia - my mother has decided to give my sister a property now and I can wait until my mother (and myself possibly are dead). I will qualify it by saying that my mother lives in the house she was to leave me and I don’t expect for her to leave just to make things even. But, I also know that she is using the dynamic to ding me over the head for being independent, opinionated, and not obedient.
    This is a narcissistic relationship and there’s a BEVY about that on YT.
    Of course, as I am the child with the most skill, she is trying to hoover me and keep me in the family in case she or my sister need anything.
    I’ve got to this point because, what I’m trying to say is that the caller needs to be glad that he lives in another state and he may be best breaking all contact with his family. Why? Because he has to look forward to the possible dynamic that I also see myself in and looking ahead to. That you may be both hated and depended upon. That you may be devalued, while being dictated to and controlled so you can “become of use” to them, while you get no credit for it. That they can, at the same time, feel jealous of you and arrogant about what they’ve been able to get away with.
    When your mother passes and they have nothing in life but what she left them (she may leave you nothing because you’re smarty pants), your siblings may, without hesitation, look to you for experience in managing their lives, finances and even sheltering and feeding them. As far as they may be concerned, you’re all in this together - once SHTF.

    • @privateprivate8366
      @privateprivate8366 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      By the way, while I may not have the facts right, unless my sister is able to afford to live in that house on her 2-4 jobs or if my mother pumps in money, I expect that there will be a tax sale in less than a year. My sister knows nothing about home ownership, maintenance and costs. I’d asked my mother several times, before this turn of events, to tell my sister about the property taxes. She didn’t want to. Go figure.

    Dave always has such great advice, however, I think in this instance he misunderstood what the caller was looking for. The caller already knew how dysfunctional the situation was and that he couldn't do anything about it, I think he was more wondering how he could personally move on or let go of his resentment towards his family members. But I think Dave was so quick to jump on the bashing bandwagon that he never really heard that that's what the caller was seeking.

    • @elavaney6018
      @elavaney6018 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think the caller needed someone else [an outsider] to validate the fact that what was going on with his siblings was insane. I have an extended family member who is in her mid 20s and never held a job, failed the certification for her degree program and quit the only job she's had after 4 hours. Her future is bleak, and it troubles me thinking of what's going to happen to her in the years to come. Currently she and her chronically ill mother are being supported by the elderly grandmother, but what they'll do when she can no longer afford it is something I worry about probably more than they do.

      So long as you contribute to maintaining the household by paying rent or taking over paying other bills, I see no problem with your situation. The issue with the caller is that his siblings did nothing and contributed nothing. Like Dave said, they were basically still acting like teens. What's going to happen to them if their mother drops dead or loses her job and they have no job skills? Chances are the siblings are either introverts, shy or something like that where they don't want to leave the nest, but the mother's enabling them to postpone getting their own life is a huge disservice to them.

    Thirteen years ago, this man's neighbors, childhood friends and his immediate family all watched his mother (no mention of his father) FAIL her second-born, his middle sister, straight out of high school behind the elder brother and said NOTHING, with THIS sister's childhood friends all moving on or whatever and leaving her be.
    This man, the third-born, KNOWING his mother (no mention of his father) wasn't going to encourage, enable or in ANY way contribute to HIM get out on his own and away from her after high school, come 18, HAD WORKED HIS WAY OUT OF HER HOUSE on his own merit and has stayed out on his own merit.
    Who does that leave to care enough to free the stuck elder siblings from his stunting codependent mother that saw but didn't care 18 years ago?

      +Clayton Crider I actually LISTEN to videos before I comment.
      Adam begins at :54: "It -- It kind of wears on me and it has been over the years because I've always worked since I was a teenager, and I'm 32. I have my own house, I've actually -- this is my second house that I'm in, you know, I live -- another state away. But I -- I feel a little resentment...."
      The discussion that follows proves Adam is not feeling a little resentment, but a lot of EMBARRASSMENT, which is the state of being caused to feel self-conscious or ill at ease, disconcerted.
      Dave qualifies this incorrectly applied emotion at 1:15: "I wouldn't feel resentment, I would feel pity!" which is sorrow or grief aroused by the misfortune of another: compassion for suffering; and is synonymous with commiseration, sympathy, condolence and empathy. EMBARRASSMENT in its truest sense is pity with no solution.
      But observe, please, how Dave's lengthy empathetic response to Adam's subject then proceeds to reflect every bit of Adam's EMBARRASSMENT back to him over his stuck older brother and sister and the mother that has kept them emotionally stunted for 36 years.
      Now, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to subtract the 36-year-old brother and 31-year-old sister's present-day circumstance of still living in their mother's house from their failure to have moved out on their own 18 and 13 years earlier to deduce all I have in my response. Also, could Dave in all his commiseration, sympathy, condolence and empathy offer Adam a solution to the mother that has thrown her older son and daughter's lives away on her stronger need to remain mama to minor children and the stunted siblings that have permitted her? Nope. Like I said: EMBARRASSMENT over which Dave could only offer Adam useless pity.
      So, for you applying the logical workings of my mind to suggesting I speak of my own circumstance of being a 36-year-old man or a 31-year-old woman still living in my mother's house by asking me why care what other people think of me proves you too dumb first to ask if I'm a 36-year-old man or a 31-year-old woman!

    You have to take the 30,000 foot view on this issue. "Resentment" snowballs in these situations. The hostility, anger, bitterness, frustration, creates a wedge in this family, people avoid each other, who will care for Mom when she can't care for herself, and then after Mom dies there will be a nuclear war between the 3 siblings. All because Mom has enabled two lazy humans to take advantage of her, while the other is being responsible and accountable. While fair is not always equal, parents should be funneling equal amounts of dollars $$$ to the responsible kids making it on their own. When things are transparent with $$ and time, then you can avoid resentment and most of the harm to the family.

Hence, if she is going to allow them to be of such low character, you will not be around them. You will also not help her in anyway that also helps them as they are freeloading bums.
