im after a bit of advice from
people who may have been in similar circumstances or who or just wiser than myself.
recently mother was diagnosed with an illness which although will not end her life will shorten. This coupled with my father who has terminal cancer has led to a lot of stress within the family.
recently my mother had to have a pre arranged operation where she would be in hospital for two days maximum. In this time myself and my sibling took care of our father and his medical needs, he needs regular care and due to the operation being a last minute cancellation we were unable to sort out care for him so both pitched in and cared for him ourself.
my mother returned from hospital after her operation all went well. As soon as she returned she started shouting at my sibling and myself about how we hadn’t done things around the house to the standard she liked for example we had hung washing on the clothes airer rather than putting it in the dryer as it seemed a waste to put the dryer on for two items. This caused her to shout and scream telling us we were useless.
im at my wits end with it all I just want to go No contact with her but would miss my father too much. He isn’t able to facilitate contact himself due to his advanced cancer and only has months left to live. I don’t want to miss out on the last few months of his life simply because of my mothers behaviour.
what would others do in this situation go no contact or ride it out for the next few months?
