My sister has a child and he has Autism. He's still pretty young but it seems pretty severe, and he probably won't ever be able to be fully independent. My parents are getting old and sick. My sister is ~40. There's no Father in sight and never has been. She basically jumped on a random dick as her biological clock was ticking down and got pregnant. She's very morbidly obese and having health problems already (she recently spent some time in hospital), and is showing no inclination to lose weight or improve her health (she never has). We have no other siblings or extended family either of us are close to. She relies on our parents to do half the childcare, only moved out a couple of years ago and basically lives like a child. I'm the same except I haven't shat out a child and I'm not anywhere near as morbidly obese as she is.
I hate children and regret ever developing any small relationship with this one, but living in the house he spends half his life in, it was hard. My sister also gave him my name as his middle name. The TL;DR is that I'm fucked. I need to detach myself from my family and move out. This is hard for a variety of reasons, but particularly as I've left all this shit far too late. Instead of doing this in my early 20s or late teens, I'm now in my mid-30s. Which means my parents are getting to an age where they're getting sick (pretty sure my Dad has cancer), which means I'm obligated to stay somewhat in contact with my family.
My parents will be dead in the next 10-20 years at most. My sister will probably be dead in the same time span. Then I'll be left with either being a slave to an adult with the mind of a child for the rest of my life, or being the one who puts him in a home.
