My daughter and I moved in with my parents 3 yrs ago when we had money difficulties after an accident. Over the years, my parents' healths deteriorated and I became the caregiver to them both just because I lived with them. I homeschool my daughter and go to school myself. If I work full-time, there will be no one to stay with my Mom, but I need income because if something happens to Mom, we won't have a home any longer. The stress is compounded by my brother who always comments about how my situation will be bad if something happens to Mom. Real supportive dude. I appreciate any advice and support. Thanks!
