My dad died about a month ago and I tried to be there for my mum, taking her to hospital when he took ill and helping her with funeral etc when he died a few days later. We've never really got on as she was always criticising me or telling me how I should think or act or breathe! My dad always got it in the ear and tried to keep the peace but that meant he would 'always' take my side. After the funeral she told me my dad thought I was trying to split them up and that I was always trying to be her equal or better than her.She flipped at the hospital when the nurses spoke to me first as she is the next of kin. She sent me a letter the other day saying I have betrayed her and my dad has for not agreeing that I tried to 'take over' at the hospital and my dad took my side. Ive got a brother 2 years older that can do no wrong but he dosen't speak to me because I tried to help him with his drink problem.I really need to stay away from my mum even though I can picture her in bits grieving.
