Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I just need to write some of my anger out to get rid of it! This past weekend was my grandmothers funeral out in CA. (I am in Ohio) I was supposed to go, but my car broke down (expensively!) 2 days before and I had to refund my plane tickets to fix the car. I was heartbroken and spent 2 days in tears. My mother flipped out on me, not because I was missing the funeral, but because of having a car emergency. She then proceeded to write me a letter, which I received today, going on and on about how I can't continue to let illness prevent me from doing what I need to do to take care of my obligations. UGH!!!!! Have any of you had to deal with this? She has never once believed that I have a real illness and she has never once offered sympathy, comfort, or assistance in any way. But she sure as Hades takes every chance she gets to put me down and tell me that I need to " get over it " and stop " playing sick " . I wish I could force her to read all of your stories, to make her hear the truth and know that it is NOT in my head! But there is no point. My illness is seen as nothing more than a burden, which is crazy because I live 2500 miles away and ask her for nothing! I'm so upset that I want to just end my relationship with her entirely! I don't need this! Not now when I am finally on my way to getting healthy. Thanks for listening, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
