Being the eldest child i always feel burdened with responsibilities, sometimes i feel like a test subject by my parents for trial and error,i have to be the one who is always struggling first to pave the way for my younger sibings, basically it has made me more independent,but then Iβm getting guilt tripped by my parents saying Iβve been distancing myself and they didnβt understand,and the constant guilt trip has taken a toll on my mental health,i really donβt know what to do.

Being the eldest child we all have to go through the same. But to look at this situation from negative side just try to be a little more positive that what r u doing now as an eldest child. You are saving your younger siblings to go through the same hard time by making oavings for them. You are getting mentally prepared so that in future if u face any difficulty u already know how to handle because u went through wrost times. Now come to family no matter what u di and became if u dont give time to family everything is zero and belive me giving time to family is the best possible moment of life as an eldest Children because we spent so less time with them and after certain years there will be no one to make these memories with so cherish your time now. I know you will be hell busy but even 5minutes are sufficient.
