Thanks Laura

My mother doesn’t understand empathy so it will only hurt me more. It’s very hard when the only parent who liked you goes, it really is

Good morning thepaintingwitch,

I just thought I would check in and see how you are doing? 

It sounds a very difficult time for you so I just wanted to reiterate that we are here to offer support if you feel it is useful.

Warmest wishes

Good morning Laura and thanks for checking in. Things are up and down here and I feel alone in this, not due to the lack of kindness from friends and strangers but my mother doesn’t seem to care.

And not just about me but my brother who’s autistic. Seems like she doesn’t want to spend time with him and is more worried about the financials, which are beneficial for her.

I don’t live in my home country so, I needed help to her a prescription for my medication that are running out, she offered to help because her cousin is a specialist but never followed up. I have to fight with her all the time so she will help with anything.

It’s frustrating. Now my father’s dog is sick, and is not good. If he survives he will need a lot of care after the operation and I’m 100% sure she won’t do it, he turned her house into something that looks like an abandoned house, is dirty and a mess and all self inflicted not because she doesn’t have the resources to avoid it.

I got her therapy and everything so I don’t get it.

It’s frustrating and exhausting. I want to go home and there’s no sign of when I can go, this is not helping and no one tells me what’s happening.

Hello thepaintingwitch,

We’re sorry to read that your father passed away recently, and all that you’re going through.

It’s a real shame that I also had to put my father’s dog to sleep 2 days ago…
