Am new here so hello everyone. I lost my mum to cancer in October and although she had been in and out of hospital for over a year and we were lucky enough to have our last Christmas and birthday with her it has not been easy. I went back to work after only two weeks because I need routine in my life due to poor mental health but I can't help but feel like I am letting her and my dad who passed almost 9 years ago down. I have a younger sister and brother who I promised I would look after but to be honest we are all adults even if my brother doesn't act like it. It is only me and him left in the house now and it is a constant battleground because he will not take responsibility for himself. My sister keeps saying I should let him fend for himself and maybe I should but I can't since I promised mum I would look after him. I guess I am looking for some reassurance that I am doing the right thing but I know I have to prioritise myself and my mental health over anything and anyone else.
