Not a mother, I'm 19.
Within the last year my mother in her mid 50's has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, Lupus, arthritis, back problems, leg problems..the list is endless.
I have two older sisters aged 31 and 37 but I am the only one at home, the oldest of the two doesn't live close by so isn't able to help out and the other just really cannot be bothered so I'm alone.
I'm struggling bad..no matter what I do to try and help my mum lashes out on me, she's abusive towards me and puts me down all the time, then within 30 minutes she's happy as Larry. I know its because she's struggling with her illness and she's never been like this before. I can already feel her slipping away and I feel so lost, this is making me depressed(which is already being treated with medication)
I've tried to consult her doctor to get more help but all they seem to suggest is changing her meds or being patient.
I don't know who to turn to anymore, I'm worrying about paying bills, I'm worried that we'll get evicted. I just feel stuck.
