I fear I may be being a bit U.
My immediate family (those of us living under the same roof) have had a lot going on recently.
General annoyances like parking tickets, and more serious stuff like DFIL being placed on end of life care. Coupled with DH being bedridden for a weeks due to illness and DC being quite unwell with seasonal stuff. It's been a very heavy month for us.
In the midst of this DM became unwell.
At the beginning of her illness I advised she saw a doctor. She did not.
This carried gone on although she eventually relented and was diagnosed with a severe viral infection. I was very worried about her and given the pother stuff going on it has weighed heavily on me.
However, and this is where I get I am being U. I am finding myself feeling drained from the calls where it's a full recap of every conversation had with her GP. Every single thing she's eaten that day. Every single thing she's watched/thought/done.
I'd like to add she's greatly improved and I really have done my best to look after and support her.
But I've just had another call where I've been talked at. I started to say something about my life and she just talked over me and when I repeated myself it was met with vague disinterest.
I'm then peppered with questions about X birthday presents. When I respond that I'm a bit busy to think about it with every thing going on and have already made suggestions I can tell DM thinks I'm being unkind.
I'm just completely drained with the current dynamics of our relationship
