So I previously told y’all I was gonna tell my parents they needed to bring a cleaner/ professional into the house before I move back home and pretty much everyone was telling me not to, that it was a waste of time, etc. A sentiment and I understand a respect but did not listen to as I am stubborn.
Well my mom had a pretty positive reaction. Shes actually contacting cleaners herself which is surprising to me. I thought I would have to do all that. She thanked me for the kick in the butt and says that’s she’s all in. The biggest thing is that she might need me to physically be there with her through the process.
Now my biggest question is how can I be emotionally supportive to my parents during this time while also managing my own mental health. I struggle quite a bit with boundaries (that might be obvious). For those curious about the timeline, I’m supposed to be moving back in May. I’m not sure what the timeline of actually getting a pro into the house will be though.
Also, for a bit of context as to why I’m moving back home, I’m getting divorced and do not have a licence. My parents plus my friends back home will be teaching me so I’m limited in where I can go. I don’t plan on living at home forever. This is just a temp stop.
