Omg I totally relate to this, especially bc my parents are divorced, my mom would just dump us onto other relatives and Iโ€™m like โ€œwow ๐Ÿง๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ I feel so loved rnโ€ and then I would still have to care for my siblings or someone elseโ€™s kids like HUH?! I didnโ€™t realize how much it affected me until now and Iโ€™m still extremely young. She is pretty negligent and itโ€™s not always bc she wants to be but itโ€™s just naturally how she is

im so sorry you have to go through that :<<< it's so stressful and confusing and it's wrong!! so wrong. you shouldnt have to take that kind of responsibility. and it's hard and it's hard to talk to people about it and like... what you can do about it even??? i was in similar situation when i was a literal child and i still feel like shit about it lol haha fun.. but!!! it gets better when you get out there ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ (and leaving the place behind can feel bad too but it helps... there is just the problem that leaving is so difficult in many other ways too aaaa. why is everything so hard)
i hope you get to some better place soon?? or that you find people who can help you :<< at least talking about it here is safe
i send all my support to you ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ™

i love my mom to death and i would never blame her for what i have to pass through or talk bad about her, but her moving away to live with her partner and leaving me with my grandparents is 100% to me take care of them. again, i can't blame her since i love her to death and se already suffered too much with them (they were really toxic parents) so,, i kinda understand that she wants to live the burden with me? Since they are very chill now compared to when she was young
but
the whole thing of not being close to her, only talking to her through text, and being completely responsible for them is extremely exhausting. I don't tell her none of this because it will just sound that im being a annoying bitch. Also if something happens with them, like...die, y'know, i would be the blamed one...because i didn't take care enough, i was the villain of the story
when i am just confused and stressed. I can't even take care of myself yet how am I supposed to do all of this,,? Besides that their family doesn't even give a shit to them. Me and my mom are practically the only one who does something to help. But I'm sure they gonna be the first one to point fingers at me
