I don’t know what to do.
There are about 100 reasons my siblings & I resent my mom. We’ve always had a rough relationship with her. She’s made our lives really complicated.
Despite all that, I am thankful to have a roof over my head, food to eat & a good head on my shoulders (well, because of both my parents).
She had a stroke two days ago. Her speech was completely impaired & my brother claimed she wasn’t all there. (Mind you, my mom & dad are still in Thailand). He had emailed me at 10pm Thai time. It makes me feel helpless that I can’t do anything. That I can’t just be there.
The last time my mom & I talked on the phone, we argued. I’m starting to really hate that our relationship always comes to arguing. Then stuff like this happens & it’s like, “Couldn’t I have just stayed calm & been a better kid?”
I know how hard life is with her around. I know how much I sometimes hate it or wish it could be different. But what hurts the most because of this situation is that I don’t know what life is WITHOUT her. & that sense of unknown locks me up.
I’m so scared that she’ll have another when she’s traveling back to the US. I can only hope for the best.
