I don't pay it myself, but our mom receives support funds twice a month which she divides and splits. I was accepting a portion of it, but took myself out of that a few weeks back, stopped accepting any of those funds again for the third time in 4 years. Just does not feel good to be taking these funds. It's allowed for a complacency vibe to shroud this house, both our mom and older brother do not work, younger brother and I, do. While I do 'understand', I do not 'agree' or 'support' most of the perception in this house, I am all about being able to support myself, not waiting for child support money to arrive so I can spend it all and wait for more. I don't have anyone, that I know of at least, to talk to about this, so for the past two years I have climbed up and down the mountain, being so close to moving out on my own a few times, and having a few thousand dollars saved away to live out on my own, make my own home, my own family, all to just let this inner feeling arise, that I would be abandoning my family here. Mom went from being a 35 year school nurse, active in society, engaged with people, to where she is now, no car, no income, no job, no goals, total regression, and of course, I've allowed myself to take on some of that and feel responsible, that "had I just done this" or "had I just stuck with that one job" (i had five jobs in 2013) I have established a viscous cycle, that right when I am taking off again, the inner feelings of guilt and failure arise trying to sway me from moving forwards, cause I know that both my older brother and mom are their own human beings, and are indeed responsible as such. Just cause they are my family does not mean I am the reason for their current condition, nor is it any vibe for me to trip over. I've run myself around this for nearly 3 years now. While I am doing a lot better, in not being swayed by the environment here, I still allow myself to look back and get stuck for a bit, then I turn around and climb the mountain again.
