The reason I ask this is because I truly wonder how many more blows I can take and keep getting back up to take more. Some of you already read about my bad weekend last Sat trying to find my lost mom. Well turns out while she was lost she wrecked my SUV. I didn’t notice that night that the auto had damage on the front and side from something she hit. Then 2 days later I get up and she has taken my SUV again but this time she tells me while she was out, that she fell a sleep at the wheel. Seems that while she was at a red light she fell a sleep and someone blowing there horn woke her up. I didn’t fuss at her; just keep the keys with me now instead up on the key holder. She went to the doctor today because she has been feeling so bad and they said she has a great deal of fluid build up. She has to have more tests in the morning to try to find out what is going on. She has cancer, a bad heart and for two weeks now she hasn’t been able to get any sleep except for when she nods off in her chair. I’m worried sick about her, stressed beyond the max from her health and the financial problems she keeps causing. For some reason my mom thinks there is a fairy that comes and puts money in your bank account when you run low. She does not keep up with what she spends, and this month alone I ended up having to pay $1,200 in bad checks she wrote and fees from the bank. I really am to the point where I am at my wits end. I told my brother for the first time since my dad died that I need help. That I have had to carry the load all these years and it’s time he steps up to the plate and helps me with some of the load. One person cannot do this on there on, I’ve tried and I am to the point where I feel I am going down a road over and over just to end up at a dead end. Ok sorry for posting this but I just had to tell someone how I feel. My brother is my only family beside my mom and well he’s never been there and I doubt he ever will be. Thanks for listening.

you need a counsellor to tell this to - not netpond.

Most times when she pushed to far, I would just hand her the phone and tell her to call the cops I needed the weekend off ...that stopped her from pushing anymore buttons...lol
Never was violent towards her, just a little pissed off.

Stop the hijack already!

cuddelkitty I can tell ya you are not alone! Loads of parents seem to piss off and stress out loads of people when they get old.

We got our own lives to lead, so if it gets too much, you shouldn't feel guilty about, erm, dealing with the situation.

Erm, can't say what to do about it 'cos it annoys the fuck out of me when it happens, so, erm, well, I'll stop now 'cos I'll look like not a very nice person.

We're having to consider invoking powers of attorney on my GF's parents bank account atm 'cos they are going completely mental.

I'm sure to see your mom being in bad state of health can be a resource of stress. But you shouldn't show your aggravation towards her. If you try to keep calm you help her to accept the illness. And I hope she'll get better soon.

You know, I took this totally out of context and got turned on.

Cuddlekitty, it's not easy being a child of parents who lean on you. I could write 300 paragraphs on what I've been through in just the past month.

The one thing I'll tell you is to take time to think about how this affects you and don't feel guilty if you take time for yourself.

[Hentaikid]

Sounds like you need to take away her checkbook too

[LittleSassy]

geezz... a certified pain in the ass!

Have you been check by your doctor lately?
Yeah, you. *lol I was just thinking that you might had acquired a high blood pressure or heart attack due to that problem!

[BadWolf]

I've learned that we can take more than one might think......but at the end of the day we have to make decisions based on what's best for the other person, not emotion.

Agreed but don't be harsh.

[mikesinner]

Just try not to let it get to you. Only deal with things right when they happen. This will lower your stress a bit.

I was not aware that there was a problem with a member posting about something that was bothering them on netpond. As a matter of fact I have seen in the past 6 months alone many members with some type of personal problem that just needed to post about it to get it out and feel better. But since you made a point to let me know I was in the wrong I will make sure to not put anything personal on the board again.

[CuddleKitty]

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you that had something nice to say. I do not make it a habit to post things this personal on boards. All I can say is I was feeling beat down and just wanted to say it out loud. Things are better with mom now that they put her on some meds to get the fluid off. Turns out her mind was not going as I feared; she was just worn out from lack of sleep. She can now lay down and sleep and seems to be thinking more clearly. Thanks again for listening to me and I understand that this was not the place to post about this, so sorry.
