I think I'm not the only one whose parents weigh them down. I don't hate them or anything but their never ending problems suffocate me.
What kind of problems do they have?
They can barely afford living and they want money from their children for bills.
Even if your parents are having financial difficulties, letting their problems get to you will only weigh you down. Do what you can to help them, but avoid getting caught up in their issues.
I can only help so much. They need to learn to help themselves.
I really feel for you about what is going on with your parents. You should try to help them, just don't let their problems weigh you down so much.
