My dad had a stroke that took most of his vision a few months ago so he is pretty weak. It is literally the worst feeling in the world, its like watching your hero suffer from kryptonite or some bullshit. It's not fair, I shouldn't have to be the one to carry my entire family.

my mom is blind in one eye and the poor depth perception makes her clumsier. her memory's not that great either and i've gotta repeat or reexplain things sometimes. I don't want her to die...

>>36558909
it's really hard for me to tell whether my mom is becoming senile because she's always been loopy and weird

when i was younger it was always mildly annoying but never concerning

now i come home and she's doing some weird shit and i can't figure out whether she's losing it or just objectively doing the same stuff she always did

>>36558962
The thing is she is still young, idk what happened to her, thats why i get angry i guess.
>>36558994
sorry to hear that anon, how old is she?

Also my grandmom has shit eyesight, cant hear nothing and has to take pills constantly. Of the 6 grandkids she has im the only one that talks to her, makes me feel pretty sad for her what should i do
>>36559032
Same here anon, i dont know if she is becoming a basic bitch, asking me about the simplest of things or if she is getting old real fast

My parents are both over 60 years old now.

By 2020 they'll be almost 70.

The pressure is real.

>>36557770
Shit man, this actually has been weighing on me a lot lately.

It's really rough to see, and they're not even really that old yet. Not that I'm even that close to them, but considering I'm an only child they're pretty much the only people in the world I have a real emotional connection to. It doesn't even bother me in relation to my own mortality, but it really hurts to see these people that you have been both biologically and emotionally connected to for your entire life start to lose their vitality.

>>36558950
I thought the 40-year gap between me and my father was bad, then I saw this. I'm truly sorry that things turned out that way bro, spend as much time with him as you can. Go to a local college, etc if you can do so.

at least my older brother is successful.

i am actively trying to make my life better but im fucking stupid/lazy. i used to hate my parents for not letting play my games and being control but after going to university i realize they truly do love me a lot and are the most patient people in my life.

I want to help mummy and daddy live comfortable lives and I am happy that they are doing quite well financially. We used to struggle a lot and especially my dad was worried about getting laid off back in 2008--2009.

>tfw 42 year gap
feels extremely bad man

honestly i just hope my mom and dad are happy
they are unqualified successes in a personal sense, they have gone through 20+ years of marriage and i've never even seen them fight

they definitely still think i'm successful and in a limited sense i guess i am (graduated college, going to graduate school...) but i hope they don't let reality seep in for as long as they can
i know i can't be a normie like they probably imagined i was when they decided they were going to have me but hopefully the curtain doesn't drop, for their sake more than for mine

>>36557770
I envy you guys who have good relations with your parents, I'm not close to them at all. We've never really been able to get along and at best we can just tolerate each others presence.

yeah my dad is 65 going on 66
my mom is 59 going on 60

my grandma is going to be 100 soon.
I want to die but I am waiting for all of my loved ones first

I sincerely feel your pain

Does anyone else have parents that are decades away from dying but you still can notice the effects of aging on them since you were a child? I can remember when I showed my parents something to read and they didn't need to hold it away from them to read it. Also, mom and dad's hair are now filled with gray hairs when I remember mom self conscience about getting strands of white hairs from stress

>>36557770
My dad killed himself a week ago. He was 51. The older I have gotten the reality of my parents mortality has become more prominent but I never thought this is how I'd lose my dad. I thought I'd at least have another 20-25 years before I'd be dealing with something like this. I've been the one making all the arrangements too so the whole thing has just felt so surreal.

>>36561471
So, so, so, sorry that this happened to you man. I am here to talk if you need to. Please seek some form of counselling even if you don't entirely feel like you need it. I fear that when your awareness of the event has fully set in, you may have a breakdown and do something reckless that could bring harm to you.

>>36561727
In a weird way the fact that I've been left in charge has been a nice distraction from my thoughts. When I know everything has been resolved and his final affairs are in order I'm going to seek help for myself. I've been in a bad place myself for the last 10 years and after going through this I realize I don't want to put anyone through this myself.

It's just crazy. We spent all of Easter Sunday together and had a great time. The last time I saw him was last Tuesday and we had another nice visit, said we loved each other and made plans to see each other again over the weekend. I had no idea he was in so much pain.

It disgusts me. life is truly not worth it.
To lose your faculties and skills, to become weak and diseased, disgusting.
And to top it all off my mother disappoints me daily, morally speaking.
I wish i was raised in a military orphanage, i would be just as miserable, but the illusion of parents wouldn't have been shattered.

Don't worry bro, if your dad died young chances are you will too

>>36562043
Didn't lose my virginity until 24. Dropped out of college, too.

I'm now married and at a job making 44.60/hr. I've never been happier. Don't give up.

you latterly described my older brother , he always had As but when he went to high school he simply just dropped out and never continued studying idk why

>>36562647
It's actually been proven in multiple studies that if you tell a kid that they are smart, it makes them feel entitled to shit. Like they should never have to work for success.

Even if you know it was easy for them to get that A+ or that science prize, you should always say, "It seems like you worked really hard on that!" rather than, "Wow! You're really smart!"

>>36562647
my point of failure was post-undergrad. I didn't leave with a job or internship and fell flat on my face and never recovered. I really should be dead/homeless. as the older brother I put so much pressure on myself to become the breadwinner after my dad passed away that I just collapsed once I realized all that time focusing on studies and being told I was smart was for nothing because it's much more important to know people than to know academics

>>36561845

>bailed

see you can't really call it that.
I own a house, financed through money I inherited from him, and own his former investment fund (which is managed by someone locally and my mom helps me out with all the financial decisions)

I'm in a financially secure position and have every tool at my disposal to become successful and ironically it's exactly that circumstance that fucks with me.
This man worked his whole life and instead of enjoying the fruit of his labor he decided to entrust me with it, and what came off it?
An autistic do nothing failure who can't get anything right.

>>36560779

Don't worry anon, people who are able to stay together for 20 years without fighting much are usually quite tolerant and wouldn't care all that much that you aren't a normo.

They just want you to be happy.

My mom died about seven or eight years ago, when she was in her late fifties, and I was left alone, with no brothers or sisters, with my 70+ yo dad. I was terrified of having to take care of him as he got older and it was quite obvious that he was deteriorating, his memory wasn't what it used to be, he started having heart problems, etc. But then he died rather suddenly as well, so that sort of resolved itself.

Sorry for the blog post, but what else would you expect in a thread like this.

We have many many nights of wine drinking and political discussions ahead of us. And that makes me warm and comfy inside.

my dad is an autistic gypsy sperg who i hate too much to tolerate, my parents broke up when i was 1yo and i was recently diagnosed with autism. mom is fat, but at least she gives me gibmedats and enables my neetlife
