Hi, I'm so upset /angry. My mother's attitude is getting worse. When my dad died five years ago mum moved to a bungalow near my sister which is about four miles away from me now.
Previously mum and dad lived two streets away.
She moved because she wanted to be able to help out with my nephew and two because she needed the bungalow.
The bungalow is great and so is the area. It's brill for her. Problem being is that I can't get to her as easy now. We have one car in our house and my husband has to have access to it for work etc as he has lung cancer.
I struggle financially so taxis there and back isn't an option. And it's four buses there and back. I try to get up there once a week but she says it's not enough.
She gets so horrid about it. Slags my kids off because they all work full time and don't drive. Yesterday she was vile. Said I needed to pull my socks up and sort it out and also tell my kids to do the same. I try my best. I'm so fed up. She says some horrible things. My youngest was in tears yesterday after her phone call. She was that bad on the phone that they wanted me to hang up on her but I can't. It's the respect thing she is my mother after all. I work as well at the hospital so my shifts are very all over the place. Dad never ever used to be like this. And he was paraplygic.
