My Mom called and says my brother is coming down and needs someplace to stay, and of course she suggested me. I kept asking 'how long', and she kept saying 'not very long'. Its not that I don't want to help my brother, but I live in an efficiency apartment (basically one room), and my brother and all his problems stress me out. I've had to distance myself the last few years because of this and it hasn't been easy.
My Mom has a small apartment too, but her logic is I have a couch and she doesn't. I feel bad, like I shouldn't feel this way, but its got me so upset I think I'll have to take a Zanax.
Plus she was doing what she usually does, not taking no for an answer by making me feel bad. Push, push, push until I give in. I hate when she tries to manipulate me like that. She kept saying he doesn't have anyplace to stay. I just kept saying, well why can't he stay with you? She kept changing the subject.
