You should understand that constant exposure to conflict, guilt, or financial pressure can take a toll on your mental health.
Don't accept carrying trauma. Remember that protecting your mental health is not rebellion; it is self-preservation.
Hi Zulu,
I am a 27-year-old woman and the firstborn in my family. I feel like my parents are oppressing my siblings and I with their constant demand for money, even though they both have jobs. My parents fight a lot and force me to sit and listen to their complaints against each other, which is exhausting. When I try to avoid getting dragged into their disputes, they get offended. I thought this habit would end once I got married, but nothing has changed. Even though I'm a newlywed, they're still asking me for money and dragging me into their fights. What should I do?
