I'm 28 I've been helping my single mother since I was 16. She and I both work full time pay our bills live together but we share a vehicle and neither of us can really afford to be on our own. I'm becoming increasingly resentful because I have to help my mom and put my life on hold in order to accommodate her. I love my mom but if we had own our lives and she didn't have to rely on me to get around I think wed both be happier any suggestions or resources would be most helpful.

What type of "caregiving" are you giving your Mom, or is it just a case where you are room mates and this arrangement just isn't working? Would there be someone closer to your Mom's age where she could share an apartment, and the same for you?
If your Mom is a senior citizen, then you can contact your local agency on aging to see what resources are available, maybe senior housing where one's rent is based on one's income. That would be a start.
