Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 I'm proud of you, Shirley. Hugs, -- my psycho mom...lol Ok, now my mom is telling everyone she was sexually abused as a kid. This has to be more than her bi-polar talking. I don't believe her. I don't know of anyone who has had 4 therapists in one year and they all have cancelled appts with her. She has to be making this up. No way 4 different docs are brushing her off...lol One she said had to have taken a nap instead of calling her in for her appt. When he came out he told her he didn't have time to see her and he looked like he just woke up. I told her to report all of these docs. She won't. So she's lying....lol Dang wacko woman....lol No wonder I'm getting more frequent headaches...lol I'm screening her calls again. I can't take it. I'm not her sounding board and I have told her so. She keeps trying. But I won't let her. I have learned to say NO. Steve is proud of me...lol Shirls ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Shirley, I'm proud of you too! Your mom surely is ill, and needs help; but, unless she's seriously willing to buckle down and GET it, you don't have to feel responsible for her.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Shirley, I have a good idea how you're feeling. My mother was great when I was little, but I've felt responsible for myself since I was about 13. So why am I the one who's supposed to take care of problems & see that Mother & are provided for now? -- Re: my psycho mom...lol I feel she wasn't responsible for me when I was a kid so why should I be responsible for her now. I remember the 10 commandments and love thy parents and such so I do, but I don't have to like her....lol Last night Hobbes went to give her a kiss and slightly scratched her face. You would have thought she needed stitiches. There was no mark there....lol Thanks Chris! Shir;lsOwens wrote: Shirley, I'm proud of you too!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 , because you ARE the 'responsible' one. One of the disadvantages of learning how to cope really well is that the whole family seems to decide that you are the one who SHOULD cope with everything! The only cure I've ever found is to say 'no' a lot. Hugs. Owens ============= Shirley, I have a good idea how you're feeling.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Mother is in the hospital again - or was when I talked to about 2 hrs ago. This time it's digestive trouble - nausea, stomach pain, burning, bloating, ....... called doc yesterday, who said to take her to the ER (her doc is not on staff at the local hospital) & let the doc on call do tests, etc. GI doc comes out once a week from Knoxville & he was to be there today doing endoscopies, so they kept her at the hospital overnight rather than send her home in an ambulance to return today. At 5 PM the doc still hadn't arrived at the hospital; mother was still without food in case he decides she needs an endoscopy today. After he sees her, he will either send her home with a Rx, or do the endoscopy then send her home with a Rx. I am making NO suggestions this time, just checking in to be sure they're still alive & find out where they are. I'm walking a tight rope - taking care of myself now without making them mad & feeling guilty after Mother's gone. Thanks, -- Re: my psycho mom...lol , because you ARE the 'responsible' one.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I really feel for you . I can only imagine how hard all of this is for you but please please don't feel any guilt over this. You did what YOU thought was best and they decided to do something different. You can't accept responsibility for the mistakes they are making now, no matter what the outcome is. You did everything you could possibly do. I hope she'll be ok and I also hope the hospital has a good social worker that can talk some sense into them and get her into a home where she will be cared for and will be comfortable. Otherwise, the best we can hope for is that she remains happy and it's appears that she's determined to do that so you just need to be watching out for YOU. Your responsibility is to you and . Keep that in mind. I'm thinking of you and praying for all of you. Hugs Christy Re: my psycho mom...lol , because you ARE the 'responsible' one.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Shirls--you don't even have to love her--just " honor " her. Which would be check in occasionally to make sure she's alive and acknowledge the fact that she gave you birth. You're doing fine. Kathy > Shirley, I'm proud of you too!
