[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sympathetic at all to what she is going through?  [/quote]

I am sympathetic which is why I am helping her financially. I also helped her get info on my dad's whereabouts for the divorce so the lawyer would know where exactly he was staying when he came back to the US. I had to lie and break my dad's trust for my mom. We also recently lost our family pup and it's been super stressful for me. I took care of that pup when he had eye ulcers some months ago. My mom was too preoccupied with my dad to do anything about it. [b]She got a stroke[/b] after speaking to my dad's sis in law about him. I have tried to be supportive of my mom since she's retired and encouraged her to get out of the house away from the phone or tv and get a somewhat easy job or take a class but she doesn't take an interest or retorts that she worked her whole life doing heavy manual work and this is her time to rest. IDK what else to do or how to prohibit her for her own well being. Also I am annoyed because my dad has repeatedly cheated on my mom, he never strived for better for his family and he was always mocked about it by my mom's family. No one except one person in my mom's family liked him. [/quote]

Is “she got a stroke” just a phrase here or did she really have a stroke?  Because if she did, that could affect her memory, and it’s not something she can help.  Try to be calm and patient with her.  Hopefully she’s seeing a doctor and getting regular medical care.[/quote]
