[quote=Anonymous]I’m sitting here in a grocery store parking lot trying to stop crying. My dad is going through some serious medical issues and receiving treatment. My mom isn’t handling it well and always says she has nobody to talk to about it, so today I had time to talk to her alone (no kids on my end, no dad listening in on her end), and I guess nothing I said was right. She told me she’s sorry she only had one child (me) because I can’t be the daughter she needs right now. I never say the right things to her. I’m cold. I’m uncaring. I’m unsympathetic. She told me I’m “not so smart after all” because I can’t decipher the medical journal snippet his doctor gave her. I know it shouldn’t bother me. I know she’s stressed and angry and upset. But I’m really hurt by her words (I told her this, but she responded with how it’s typical of me to turn everything on myself.) How do you handle a parent who’s hurtful to you when you’re hurting yourself? [/quote]
