i hate that i’m never gonna get to experience living on my own. the second i move out of my parents house, that means my brother comes with. and if i move in with a partner, guess what? my brother comes with!
don’t get my wrong i love my brother but i hate how the expectation has always been put on me to take care of him the rest of my life because he has autism. i’ll never get to live my own life.

they won’t parent him after i move out cause that’s when they’re gonna divorce (FINALLY) and live in separate homes and they “don’t want him to deal with the divorce fallout”

Is there anything legally naming you his guardian? Is it listed in their will? It also sounds like your parents decided to essentially dump your brother on you without even trying to consider alternative options. Not saying you don’t love him or anything just the vibe I’m getting

You’ve been told you were to take care of him since you were 5 you can’t make a legally binding contract at 5.

Exactly they decided to throw responsibility on a five year old instead of actually making a plan.
