Dependency

Hi,

I have never really done forums or online social things before so I hope I am using this correctly!

I just wondered if anyone else depends on someone, like a parent or partner, to help with 'adulting'. I rely on my parents for most things such as sorting and attending medical appointments (I struggle with speech when I'm anxious and I never understand what is going on), helping me understand and remind me about bills and rent, taking me to places and situations that I find difficult, taking me back to the family home during meltdowns, ect. They basically do everything for me as they are truly awesome!! 

I wondered if anyone else needed this support? I know my mum worries about the future and how I will cope if they aren't there (which I cannot bear to think about). Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? 

Thank you!

  • I don't have advice because I'm in the same situation, but I just wanted to say I get what you're saying exactly! I rely on my mother for all those things you mentioned too and it's definitely something that plays on my mind a lot - what I will do when she's not there. At the moment I'm just trying my best not to think about it but it's still always in the back of my mind Pensive
