Hey everyone. I don't know how to handle this situation and wanted to get everyone's opinions.

7 years ago I got really sick after a surgery and ended up getting a tracheostomy. Due to this I am immunocompromised and get very sick every winter. Due to this and the fact that sometimes I get mucus plugs and can't breathe I don't feel comfortable living alone and still live with my parents. I do all my own care as well as help out around the house by cooking, doing dishes, minor cleaning, and doing some laundry. I also am a co-caregiver for my Dad who has dementia and I keep an eye on my Mom who is getting older. Up until April 2024 I was also working full time from home but was forced to leave as my Dad was interfering too much with my job.

My Mom's family thinks that because I am still at home and unable to leave due to my disability that it makes me a childish person and is currently trying to make it so that if my Mom died I wouldn't be able to do much and my brother (who wants nothing to do with any of this) would have to do everything.

I can admit that in the past I have been kind of childish, but I have started going to therapy for the past year and a half and am growing as a person.

Any suggestions on how to handle this? I just want what is best for my Dad here and I want to be treated with respect. Thanks in advance
