I just flipped my shit on mom. Little things piled up more and more, and this morning she flat out refused to take her meds. The one that stops her from vomiting. And when I asked her why she could take them for two weeks in a row and all of a sudden not anymore, she got angry at me. Like, making faces and sticking her fingers in her ears. And I

Gosh, I'm so sorry, hon *hugs*

I hope this changes anything. Maybe she doesn't realize or is in denial about the strain all this puts on you and your dad, too. That it's not just her going through it, but all of you.

Take a deep breath and pictures something beautiful, I hope that will make you feel a little bit better *hugs*

It didn't change much, I think, when I came home she acted like nothing happened. *sigh* But the doc said she can skip the anti-sickness pills if the food stays down, so we'll see. :-)

Hopefully that will work then :) How often does she go to the therapist? Do you have plans to go together and work on some stuff that concerns all of you?

So sorry to hear this, Owlee. I wish I had some advice for you. I hope the psychologist will be of some help to your mum. Maybe you and your dad could sit down with your mum, maybe with the psychologist too, and explain what it's like to see her giving up and not trying to help herself, and what it's doing to you both too?

Sadly the psychologist was sick last week... and we tried to explain to her already lots of times, but it doesn't seem to go through. That's why I hope that the psychologist is the better option - sometimes it works better if someone outside of family says it. We'll see!

I'm going to find one of my aunt's letters from when she was doing chemo and send it to you, so you can show your mom all the things she still did while she was on chemo. Or maybe I'll send a couple. She was tired and it hurt, but man, she just kept on trucking. Maybe it'll help, maybe it won't.

But sweetie, I know it's tough. Don't feel bad that you yelled at her. It doesn't make you a horrible person. *hugs* It makes you human.

We're all here for you. I'm glad you can come here and rant to us.

I needed to hear that, you know - I hate to yell and argue, but sometimes... yeah.
And it's good to have a place to rant, I can't unload everything on my poor dad!

*clings back*

I know you needed to hear that. And I'm absolutely sure you hate to yell and argue, but DO NOT let your mom roll right over you. It won't do EITHER of you any good.

Yes, keep ranting at us. We're here for you.

It's why I gave you my number. And why you have my email. If you don't think you can tell EVERYONE. Send it to me. You can even start the message with "I don't need a response, I just need to TELL someone" okay?

*hugs you tightly* I'm (We're) here for whatever YOU need to.

Oh hon, I can't even begin to imagine how frustrated you must be. *massive squishy hugs* We're always here when you need to vent!

[elebridith]

*clings* Thanks hun, it helps to know that!

Sorry for being late, but I´ve been working on an Email for you the past few days.
I hope you will read it soon and let me help you in anyway I can.
Hugs and Love you Owlee
