For the last few weeks, things have been incredibly rough at home. My mum has been talking about leaving my dad, and we’re all taking it incredibly badly, especially my dad and my 21 year old sister, Abi. They keep sending me to pick up the pieces, and I’ve tried making suggestions, but no one listens. I try to talk about it with people and no one wants to hear it… The people that do listen are most often busy and so cant talk, and by the time they get chance… I no longer want to talk.
Tonight it got bad tho. My mum said to my dad on Sunday night that she was staying at my nans empty house for the night because she needed space… She said it was only for 1 night, but, she did the same Monday night. We’re at Tuesday night, and Dad drove round to nans house to check on her because he’s worried, and she wasn’t there… She won’t tell anyone where she is, and she won’t answer anyone. She briefly phoned my youngest sister but didn’t say anything about her whereabouts… She has a past of suicidal thoughts and severe depression, but nothing like this has ever happened, she’s never just disappeared without telling me, but now she wont tell me anything.
Abi was diagnosed with Anxiety 2 weeks ago, but we know its been part of her life for years, and all of this isn’t helping. She won’t talk to anyone, she just sits on her phone all day scrolling through Instagram or sleeping… I’ve been there, I know how it feels, but I don’t know how to get through to her to talk to me, I’m worried about her. I’m worried about my mum. She said that now I’m moved out, she will always answer the phone to me, but, tonight, she won’t even do that… She is my dad’s world, and I know his emotional abuse is a lot to take, but my mum won’t even sit with him and talk…
If they split up, the whole family is just going to be torn apart, and we may even lose the dogs. I don’t know what to do… We’re all worried about her, but she doesn’t seem to care. I’m so lost…
