What to Do About My Mom?
Question by dollie: What to do about my mom?
My mom is forty-four. She got divorced from my abusive father, and he’s been in nursing school for the past five years and graduated this May(2008) . She really wasn’t around when she was in school, I pretty much raised myself, she was really depressed and couldn’t make ends meet. She was abusive to my brothers and I when we were younger, however now that we’re all bigger than her, she’s not. She’s still really depressed, and has always been pessimistic about her dying. She’s always been stressed and she’s had heart pappilations alot. She keeps saying she’ll probably die by the end of the year. Tonight she was nearly crying and apologizing about how me and my brothers have had such a horrible childhood, just saying how she wants to just “drop dead.” I’m really really worried about her. She has money now, but I really need to do something for her. Is there anywhere I can send her? Not like rehab, she doesn’t have a drug problem or alcohol addiction. I’m just lost on what to do. I want to help her before it’s too late. Please please please, help me and my family. I’m from Boston, so if anyone can recommendd ANY places at all to send her, please, let me know.
Regards,
Dollie.
