Family wants me out

Malaysia
August 2, 2010 9:29pm CST
On behalf of everybody else, my mother opens her mouth and say that she wants me out. The fact that I have been on and off employment since 2000 until now, I can't secure financially because I have major depression and endometriosis. She no longer wants to keep me in the house and told me I should find a job, get married and moved out probably after my junior brother work and bring home a wife. She said the house will be belong to my brother sooner or later and I am just disturbing the atmosphere of the house if my brother gets married. But I am disable to work fulltime even parttime make me restless and demotivated. What should I do?

Hello wongchoiyee :) Very strange reason. And cruel, by the way. But i think that 10 years are too much time for one depression. And the bad thing is that when somebody helps you to handle with all that, it's good way for you, to feel fine and stop fighting with your problems. I've been in that situation and i know that as long as you feel calm, because someone take care of you, you won't start fighting at all. You will be always relaxed, that you are not alone, you will feel like .. whatever happens, you have someone to protect and help you. I don't want to be the bad one, who will judge you or will say what you have to do. It's your choice what will be your future, but look at the other point of view. May be your mom wants to help you with giving you a good kick and she hopes that you will start again - job, life, relationship, finding friends, living the real life, which you deserve. Be strong and fight for you life. But not with your family, because they are not an enemy for you. I'm sure they love you and they are trying to help you. It looks really cruel to tell your child that this child have to leave your home, but we are not kids anymore. And we have to find our own way. I'm sure your mom will be more than happy if you find your way. Not because she doesn't want you to live in her house, not because she doesn't want to pay your bills, just because if you find your real ME you will be truly happy. I hope you will be fine, hugs and great wishes. I'll pray for you.

This is very sad. I am also a mother and i don't know how to react on this. i couldn't just imagine a mother throwing her son out of the house with such condition like yours. I am not here to judge to your mom,but i guess she is to mean to do this at you. I hope she will find in her heart that you are her son and she go through long hours of labor when giving birth. Have faith in your heart and be strong

It is really sad to me to hear that our mother had the nerve to say something like this to you. I mean I always thought that family was supposed to be there for you during the good times and the bad times and because of the fact that you are disabled to a certain extent, then your family really should be there to help you through the difficult times in your life. It is wrong that she said this to you and I think it would be time that you sit down and talk with your mother about how you feel right now.

Just find a job, and when you find one move out if you think that's the best for all of you. Just stay positive and lean on. You will find a job sooner, and don't give up! Good luck.

It is sad that you are going through this phase, but since they already said that you should move out, then you have no other choice but to take full responsibility on your own. Maybe you can ask your mother to give you an ample time until you find a job, then you will leave the house. You should be strong and overcome that depression especially now that your parents can't back you up anymore...good luck, and God bless you
