Im a 26 year old caretaker for my grandparents. I moved to the Midwest from the east coast to help out. In some ways I feel lucky bc im living rent free & my grandma can still drive and do a few things for herself & for my grandpa. But I moved out to the country for them and im a city girl. For the most part im grateful things aren’t worse, but I keep thinking about how im not living a life that I actually enjoy. My days are kinda based on what they need. I work part time so I have time away but I have no friends here & I feel like a total black sheep in this town. I try to reframe every time I have negative feelings, but this feels like an endless sentence. They keep saying I can leave anytime I need to (like taking my next step in life) but things are not going to improve so idk what the future holds.
