I think my mother purposely doesn't want to understand what I am saying. How else can I say "lay on your back" other than "lay on your back"? Is that so hard to understand? No, it's not hard and she did understand because after that she pokes fun at it or ridicules my suggestion.
Why does she have to test my patience when I have very little of it? Why does she have to look at me that way when she's in discomfort like I am supposed to know what to do to help her feel better? What can I do? I can't possibly open her up and fix her. Then when I'm not very helpful she leaves making me feel like honeysuckle, like it's all my **** fault and that I wasn't helpful enough.
**** it, I feel like honeysuckle.
some people just don't know how to deal with adversity...I am so sorry you feel like that, I guess there is no way to avoid that but how on earth can you think it's your fault?! Imagine if the situation was reversed, if she was sick and you were not, would you go bother her and annoy her to make *you* feel better even if she is the one who is sick??
This behaviour is not normal or the sign of a grown up person.
A friend of mine is experiencing a similar situation: her mom is sick, and the otherwise loving father since she is not getting better has become very difficult, finding trouble with everything and making problems, instead of helping. She is even leaving the house because it's too painful to see, and she can help more if they don't fight all the time.
And I won't mention my own aunt who stopped wanting to know me since I became less than healthy.
Some people just don't know how to deal when stuff happens, it's their own problem and the moment they have a sparkle of maturity they will regret it very much. YOU have nothing to feel sorry for, you would never ever behave that way with anyone.
