I'm drowning

[psomom]

I need to vent, I need to find a way to deal with all this, I need to put down what's been happening and how I feel, and maybe it will help

I can't do this much longer

I love my mom, and I enjoy spending time with her, but she needs to GO AWAY. I cannot do another "give me a break with this" when I give her the pills she has to take every morning, the pills she's taken for 10-15 years. I cannot bite my tongue one more time when she snaps "are you guys deaf" when the tv is above 12 - when we normally have it on 25, or tells me it's freezing when the house is set at 68, when we usually keep the heat 10 degrees lower. Or have to tell her yet again that not eating or drinking means she has to use the bathroom more, so not eating and drinking to try to not use the bathroom just backfires, or tell her to flush the damn toilet after she pees cause we don't pay for water and it clogs the pipes, or try not to cough or move at night because her bed is up against the wall that our bed is and it wakes her up, or have to only watch channel 5 because she hates all the others but Frugal Fucking Fanny advertises on channel 5 and she HATES that woman, or not be able to watch any of the shows we like because she will

So sorry Mo, I really wish I was closer so that I could take you our for several well deserved drinks!
I can only imagine the hell and heaven that you are going through. I can certainly understand being frustrated by a constant houseguest who is not considerate at all and expects you to bend your life to hers. You also shouldn't have to be the one to have to take care of her all the time. I am sorry that Eric isn't being more insistent (although your mom is a tough person to stand up to!). Hopefully now that Meip has moved back home, you are able to unwind a bit. I hope hope hope that she is able to stay on her own for a long time, both for hers and your sake!

Again, any time you want a sympathetic ear, I am here for you!!
