She and dad split up 5 years ago and I have provided God knows how much support both emotinal and practical to her since. I'm sure she's depressed but she won't go and see a Dr.
So yesterday she rings up (on her mobile)sobbing down the phone, totally hysterical - 'cos her landline isn't working. Begs me to go round. So I drop everything and go straight there. She's annoyed as I can't make the phone work. She was hoping I'd fix it before the BT enginner man comes round today and will charge £80 if the fault's on her side.
I tell her again to see her GP about antidepressents or at the very least counselling. She said "I don't need a counsellor, I need to talk to you when I have a problem but you're too busy". I pointed out I'm not prepared to listen to her slag my dad off. She denyed doing this which is crap.
Then she asks me to help set her new laptop up. I spend some time fiddling with it but have never seen MS Vista before so am clueless. She is better with computers than me but expects people to do everything for her. I had to leave as was due at hospital to see m dad who's been there for weeks. She had a strop saying "leave me to struggle with it then, etc".
She rang up today to say she's finally sold the house and has found a bungalow to move into. The bungalow will be (a lot) smaller then current house and she's worried about space. I pointed out my dad is too ill to clear the loft so I will have to do it. I told her that dad said its all junk in the loft so we'll get a skip and bin it. No thanks for me offerring to do this. Bt she says its not all junk and there are carpets in the loft from a previous house that she wants to take.
She then said that she plans to take the carpets from this house to the bungalow (they're leaving their carpets). I said I thought that was daft and its extra work and stress. How on earth does she intend to get the carpets up before the removal me come when the rooms are full of furniture? She then said she expects me to do it and went on about how unhelpful I am, etc. She is mad isn't she wanting to tae the carpets? Never mind expecting me to do so much and being so ungrateful. I work and have my own family and she expects me to run round afetr her and then squeals if I don't and throws it in my face that if DD is ill she will have her so I can go to work.
