My mom never got an opportunity to properly grieve her mother (family drama being the main reason). It’s really hard to watch her during a down moment. I know she’s got years of work ahead. I always tell her grief is our final act of love.

Personal responsibility and self-sufficiency are indeed a key part of being an adult. But one has to learn to walk before they learn to run.

Camping/hiking people are usually happy to help, but of course one should learn and not become a permanent moocher.

In fact, this is the progression: first you need help, then you do not need help, and finally you are able to help others.

I've had eating disorders most of my life. Including binge eating. For me, finding foods I could volume eat(really big salads, veggies and hummus, etc) helped when I want to eat a lot of food. I choose something that I can eat a lot of without feeling bad, then a smaller amount of craving food.

Single serve snack foods help, as well as making your eating out budget really small so it makes sense to get a kids meal or equivalent. Still get the taste, and fit the craving without crazy over indulgence.

Also when I am craving all you can eat food, my go to is an all you can eat sushi place(that actually has pretty high quality stuff). It helps prevent the ick feeling from over eating, but can eat a lot of food that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford that volume of.

Are you comfortable sharing your motivations with him? With my ex, I felt this weird pressure against doing what I wanted to do because I would always stress about potentially going against her plans. It wasn't a good dynamic.

Surely they wouldn't object to you cleaning and would want to help you get that done, both because it's important to you and generally nice if someone else is doing the cleaning hehe.

I pull the Indeed submissions for my company. Rest assured we never read those messages. We will check messages for a particular applicant only if we've otherwise already been in contact with the applicant. A direct message stating you want to work here is deemed redundant by our team. Our initial assumption is you want to work here and that's why you've applied. It isn't until we leave messages that go unanswered that we realize you just wanted a place to fill out for your unemployment voucher. I would much rather make a few unanswered phone calls than to rifle through dozens of messages.
