Answer 3

this should not hold you back but you should be there when they need you

NO.  Just live your life.

Answer 5

I don't like to assign blame, but my father's over-bearing personality, temperment, and obsessive compulsive hoarding habits make life difficult.

        I'm an adult with an anxiety disorder, living at home, focusing on getting better. (I'm aware I should have my own place) My dad definitely triggers my anxiety, he yells, creates a mess seconds after I clean up, blocks passage ways with boxes of stuff. It's so frustrating!

              I know I should leave, but am not ready to face the world. I also feel responsible to help him, what would he do without me? In time he won't even be able to enter the house because of all the stuff. I know that's a losing battle, he doesn't appreciate anything I do for him.

Answer 6

yes. especially whe it comes to relationships, bc so and so dated him and he cheated on her, you get the idea. the trick, though, is to take those opinions, keep them in the back of your head, but continue to enjoy yourself. while on guard with a previous situation  

Answer 7
