I’m scrabbling and doing everything to stay alive for my parents so that they don’t worry. When they pass, fuck it, I’ll probably help the statistic along.
I feel you. If not for the immediate family, the aging dog, and maybe one or two friends that I have to be the one to put effort into maintaining any contact, no one would miss me or care. I don’t want to hurt them. My sibling is not directly trying to actively ‘go in’ (the community/activity word for dying in the course of the activity) in their hobby, but it’s a hobby with a death rate of about 1/20 per year of participants. In all likelihood, since I’m caring for one of my parents, I’ll get to see all of them pass on within a short period and then make my decisions.
Quite similar to me. I just barely care enough about my parents. Also, thanks to the financial situation we’re in … they’ve decided to move into my house and not move out.
Like I earn decent change (not enough for two mortgages, mind you) but I’m already in my forties and I’m waiting for them to pass. I’m barely mentally holding onto living this day-to-day life while not freaking out on them on the regular.
