My parents run a business down in California. I was the one helping my mom the most, but my parents kept heaping demands on me, plus thats not what I wanted to do with my life anyway, so I got overwhelmed and ran off to Washington with a friend of mine. This friend has pretty much sat on his behind for the last nine months, playing games all day. Last week, I went down to my parent's house and helped mom with some things at work because my sister and aunt haven't been showing up and it's just my mom by herself in the office. It was easy to see how upset she was by all this. She asked me to move back and help out (but I wouldn't live with them this time..). When I got back, I told my roommate that I've been thinking of moving back and he told me that if I move down there, he'll leave and never talk to me again but that if I stay, he'll change and help me out. I can't bring myself to believe him, because I had a dad that always said he'd change and never did. Should I go?Don't know why it hurts when it comes to this person who doesn't help me at all .. but I guess I felt kinship with him because we both have a bit of social phobia.. and he was my friend for three years. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and therapist though and am working really hard to change my life and stop being so depressed.. wish he would too but he wont. My mom and I are really close and I don't want her to go into a nervous breakdown...
