Just with how my situation is playing out, I was feeling very guilty about wanting to move out and leave my nan but I've realised over time that I've been emotionally blackmailed into feeling more guilty than I should be! I'm just so happy I was able to talk to someone about this because it also came apparent that instead of her treating me like an adult that cares for her, she placed me in a parental role! I'm just exhausted and I'm done with how things are going. Things need to change for my own health as well as hers!
Ah thank you for sharing this - I feel better now. I am in the same position as you, LS. Sometimes I just need a reminder/reassurance of my plans.. of moving out. You can and will do this - it's for the best. And if you don't do it now, when will you? I'm sure your nan loves you and will understand, if not now, eventually. Some people have told me this of my situation with my mother... but yes I find it hard sometimes to get past it.
But good luck to you! Let me know when you're planning on moving!
