@outlander Your mother will have to get over it. I was just saying it's not a given that your mother should be Facebook friends with your friends.
Not minimising what is going on with you but my sister deleted me from Facebook. Not only that but she and my brother spread my mother's ashes without inviting me to participate. She sent me a photo saying how lovely it was. I responded by telling her that I was deeply offended to which she replied that Mum hadn't said they had to be part of my life.
I was very upset but have now accepted that just because we share genetics doesn't make them a decent person or even someone that I need to have in my life. I don't want that toxicity and just have to move on. We live in the same town and I know she visits her daughter who lives a couple of blocks away twice a week but I can't see us ever reconciling.
I am lucky to have friends who are more like true sisters to me.
As hard and scary as it seems, I reckon that you should really move away. So many of your problems appear to stem from being in that household and having responsibilities that shouldn't be bestowed on you. Is there any other family who you could stay with? Otherwise, some government assistance and live in a share house somewhere. You are an adult now and it is most acceptable that you spread your wings and fly.

Seems like there is no way to please everyone. You need to start thinking about yourself. I was like that too - always sacrificing my needs for others. And rarely being appreciated. More so blamed for the slightest little thing because of other people's guilt. It sucks.
I am so much happier that I have don't have that in my life now. You need to move on and make a life of your own. Do you want to be in this same situation one, two, three years down the track?
You deserve to be happy. I think it's been so long that you were, that you don't know any other way of living and are well and truly stuck. Negativity takes over and it's all you expect.
