Sounds like your mum is abusive and manipulative and plays the helpless woman. Good for you for drawing a line and setting boundaries. She should consider herself lucky you even give her the time of day. Keep looking out for yourself.
Anyone else having a crap Christmas and it hasn't even started yet? I am having a rough time with my health. My TSH level is high, was supposed to have a phone appointment with the nurse practitioner. Receptionist tells me 12:30ish, fine. No call all day and I was busy working because some of us don't have the luxury of a salary. I see the receptionist left a message that it might be earlier because people cancelled and one missed call. I had my phone in front of me all day!
Who knows if she has sent a new levo script to my pharmacy and with my thyroid out of whack, so goes my mood and I am tired and feel like
tit. An added bonus, the extended family nonsense it is just one thing after another.
