Ahhh. Messaged mum to see how she was as I do morning and night. This is the response I got. I can’t cope with it anymore. Nothing I do is enough.
She won’t do anything - anything to help herself and everything as an only child is left to me.
Let’s just say I belong on the stately homes thread. My relationship with her is utterly toxic but she is sick so I am doing my best to look after her whilst raising 2 kids and working full time. She lives 65mile round trip which I do twice a week. She had said she was moving beside us but had now decided not to. Has told social service she no longer needs help so that has been revoked. She is housebound without me. I can’t cope anymore! I’m about to crack. She is only 63 but a lot of complex issues that are just too much for me to cope with alone but she refuses all other help.
Text tonight to see she was ok to get “have just sat here and cried all day” you and me both! Not wanting to drip feed and massive back story of her shocking treatment towards me but doesn’t even matter anymore.
