Mom F'ing with me about info.

I have an example: my friend specifically asked her mother if (my friend) had the chicken pox, as a youngster. Understandably, it would be your mother that would tell you, right? In most cases. Be glad if your mother would tell you. Really, count your blessings.

My friend, as an adult, came down with the chicken pox because her mother misinformed her that she had them as a child. My friend has other health considerations, and because of her mother lying to her (!!!), my friend was in bed for a month, had pneumonia because of chicken pox complications, and had to be tested for other more serious health repercussions. She easily could have died because of her health predicament.

Don't get me wrong, the Marie remark was witty. But sometimes it is more serious than that.

We organized a bunch of her friends to come over and help and make meals because she was so weak and frail. We could have lost her.

Did the mom knowingly lie or just misremember?

Knowing the mother, the mother knowingly lied. She is very jealous of this particular daughter.

So sorry for your friend. I agree, the Marie Barone witticism is amusing, even for those of us whose mothers are more destructive than charming.

OP, were you asking who your father was?

-- "is" -- not was.

OP here. No, not having to do with that. There are family situations that are too detailed and involved to go into here. They escalate, the person does not get the help they need, and it could have been fixed in a much easier, quicker manner instead of having life changing results.

We are not talking about nail polish here.

Actually, I got it. I had a situation where I needed information from mom (who was the my father to be exact). I tried everything to get the truth. I finally did by threatening her that I'd never speak to her again, or take care of her. I finally got the truth.

OK, but seriously. What?

Yeah, what?


I'm reading this typo to mean your mother was once your father ("mom (who was then my father...)" Correct me if I'm wrong.

What about if a family member is in the hospital, and the mom (and other family members) use information as the only "power" they have, they have nothing else you want, so they refuse to give you the contact information? Ho wdo you contact your infirm relative?
