I live with my dysfunctional family of 5; a narcissistic father (56M) who used to beat up my younger brother (21M) who then turned out be the most troublesome family member and is now verbally abusive to my mother (51F) who is very emotionally dependent on me about her problems with my dad and my brother. I feel so overworked all the time, I have to deal with my mothers venting, Handle my brothers problems (he creates a new problem at his college every other day), handle my own problems, handle my situationship that I have not been able to get over for the past 3 years. My family does not give me a break. And everytime I try to intentionally create boundaries, Guilt overtakes me like what if my mother dies soon or something like that and what if I regret not listening to mothers vent or giving her time. I do make time for her say 2-3 hours everyday, I have breakfast and dinner with her, yet she looks at me like she is a victim and no one cares about her which makes me feel guilty and the cycles goes on. All I can think about in situations like these is how come no one cares about me the way I care about them? Does my mom not see how emotionally exhausting early 20s are for me on the top of all this family stuff? Does my situationship doesn't understand that no ones gonna love him for who he is the way I do? Am I gonna stay in this loop forever?
TL; DR: I 23F am having problems with my dysfunctional family and feel like no one cares about me. How do I get out of this loop?
