Heart stuff -echo etc. No one knows other than the words I share here. My problems are not their's and I do not ever want them feeling they owe me for any thing. I never knew I had depression or so many dark things from my past. They have their own lives and I do not want to be a burden in any way. Parents fail children. Children do NOT fail parents.
@peach414144 Surprised I have made it this far and stress can kill even if slowly. When my own mother was sick and needy I wanted to go help her. She had disowned me which was her way of showing disapproval. After all of her abuse and blaming me she did ask to see me. I was elated! I went to see her in a retirement home only to have my middle sister show up in a full-blown rage and drove me a way. Any time I would go to visit her that sister would pitch a fit. People do what works for them. Still, I wanted to be their for my mom. I did attend her funeral where the one sister had become the person she always hated.
After all of the abuse I still wanted to be there for my mom.
Enough of the maudlin mush again.

I'm so sorry your sister carries such unkindness towards you!

dear parus, it seems your family and mine are quite the same. i really understand where you are coming from. i stay away from my sisters. they have tried to hurt me in so many ways. somehow, try to see your mom when the sister is not there if this can be done. they my sisterswould not let my mother be buried where she wanted to be buried. i took care of that and she went where she set things up to be. if the authorities knew of her cruelties to her children things might have been different. mom is dead now 7 years and it seems like yesterday that she died. the years have helped to heal somewhat. but the depression and ptsd still rolls on. writing all these events down does help.perhaps you should try that. it seems to drain some of the hurt. do not accuse yourself for hurting your mothers feelings. this is life. you now know much more than before. we grow mentally with time. with much care and concern. peach barbara
