@chriscomplex No she doesn't live with me. She did when she was pregnant and the first 6 mo after the baby. She moved across town like, 15 or so minutes away and comes over on her own. She will occasionally bring laundry, but she comes over just to spend time with me . she sees that I'm struggling with my illness and likes to do things that make my life easier AND benefit her so I don't feel bad. She loves my food. She knows I'm happy when I'm cooking plus free food, so, for example,she cleaned out the fridge and did the dishes so I could feed her and cook. It's a win win. I work full time so we see each other like once or twice a week and she does stuff to keep busy and it makes her feel good. And I feel good too.
The baby is currently with relatives out of town and she has a relationship. So she has a full life. That's why I don't want her to help me. She has her own shit. But right now she has the time, resources and energy to help me get to a better place and come out of this hole that chronic stuff can bring.
And I think writing it all out and explaining it to you, helped me realize that I'm not actually a burden and she does it because she wants to.
I raised her in a really shitty cult I was in where it was easy as pie to cut someone off, especially family, you didn't agree with. I know she has that in her,I've seen it. So yeah. This really helped me to see that she is doing this because she loves me, despite all of my brokenness and just wants to spend time with me and see me happy and healthy. Which is what I would do, have done, and will continue to do with her.
I'm not sure if that answers what you said or asked, but I hope that explains the situation a little better.
