Thanks for tagging me here @outlander - I hope I can say something helpful -
@Bella1978- hi
My stuff with my mother was different - I never got along with her and there were years on end when I didn't like the way I was being treated and as an adult I did not need her permission to live my life even if she thought it was strange - I would stay away for years on end
My sister was Mum's favourite - I was Dad's favourite and I think my mother might have had a problem with that but - after Dad died and everything was all about my mother and my sister and my mother was in care I had enough
One day as usual she snarled at me and I went up to her when she turned her face to the wall - and seeing as she was deaf she may not have heard me but I said "You've been driving me away my whole life and today is the last day" and I walked away from her and did not see her until just before she died and I saw an old woman with a load of regrets she caused herself and she was unable to hear me or speak to me - and I can only say she brought whatever she suffered upon herself
During the next few years I rang a few times but could not speak to her - I wrote and my notes were never answered - I never heard anything and my sister was reading that I would have visited my mother but never let me know - and I think she failed miserably with her duty of care and not of this is my problem
We do not have to put up with crap like this from our parents - as far as I can see I deserve respect even from my own mother and I never got it and I don't feel guilty - as far as I can tell no one has to be guilty - no one deserved nasty behaviour
I hope to get back here tomorrow - I was watching a long movie but came in to see what's what - I may have something more to add but we do not need what happens at the end-of-life at times
Really - I am sorry this is happening for you
Thinking of you
