So I really didn’t expect to deal with this when I naively started my parenting journey. But I’m at the end of my patience with it all. Tried paying for therapy, encouraging NHS, topped up things they ‘had’ to do - extra year at uni, retraining, nothing ever is fun or good it’s always miserable. Every conversation starts with ‘I’m so <insert negative>. It’s been years and they are mid 20s. Living at home, furious at any suggestion they move out (can’t afford it) jealous of sibling. Filthy, room is the biggest in the house and trashed. Eggshells for everyone. Refuses to believe treatment will work so just stuck now. Just thinking maybe some solidarity or knowing I’m not alone would be nice.

I can't bear it. They are an adult and I want my house to have a baseline of clean and looked after. I can't cope with it, it upsets me so much. Everything then ends up spread the rest of the house because there's no room or there's complicated contamination rules. I know I'm portrayed as a massive unreasoanable and unsympathetic bitch to all their friends.
