I left.

I (21F) just walked out of my house and my relationship - with nothing but the clothes on my back, a couple pairs of shoes, my son, and my cats - on a whim. Why? Because I’m tired. I’m tired of asking for the bare minimum when it comes to our son and our house. I’m tired of living in a dirty house because I’ve refused to clean up after someone who should be fully capable of cleaning up after themselves. And I’m tired of playing pretend. I knew I’d be solo parenting 90% of the week, while working a full time job. What I did not sign up for was to be a parent of not only my baby, but also a 23 year old. I cannot keep going unheard, no matter how much I communicate. Ever since we got the house and moved in full time, he’s been nothing but mentally abusive and I just can’t do it anymore. My last straw was when he left for the city he’s working in and I saw the sink full of dishes and half the bottle parts still in the dishwasher. I put my life on hold to take care of our child and still work a shitty paying job, doing what I can, just to have shit held over my head and be treated as if I’m not doing enough. I don’t care what it takes to do this all on my own, I will *not* be in the sam

My mother is the backbone of my family while im nothing but a burden

Idk if it matters or is relevant, but my family is Asian with my parents being the first of their family to move and start a life outside their home country. They have worked extremely hard to be able to provide for me, my siblings, and their own families. They send money back home whenever they can and are even helping to support my dads side of the family who live here but aren't doing as well as us. Both my parents work every day to sustain my comfortable lifestyle, my mom especially.
Getting up at 4-5am for work, coming back home around 2pm, cooking for the house (8 people rn, parents, me, 2 siblings, grandma, cousin, uncle) and then going to work again from 7 to 10. Even if the second job is with my dad, cousin and uncle, My mom never has a chance to take a break, and I have no way to help her.
The plan for me originally was that I would go to college and work after finishing my program. Last semester I had failed one of my classes and failed basically all of my finals which has now put me on academic probation. I'm not going to continue the program because I'm not interested in it (wasn't originally) and it seems like more money would be wasted if I did continue. My mom doesn
