[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes parents that age are just stubborn. My parents are in a similar position but are out of state. Their "friends" seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. That seems to be normal as people don't know how to react to something so dire (whatever). My mom struggles with taking my advice unless I get real stern about it. My poor dad is the one dealing with the cancer. Your mom may be dealing with caretaker anxiety. It is a lot on someone even if it doesn't seem that way. There are probably a lot of what ifs going through her mind and seeing your loved one sick daily is difficult. I do feel you see her enough considering the distance. She's obviously lonely. Can you see if she would Skype or facetime during the week? Your brother needs to step it up too but maybe your mom doesn't have the same relationship with him as she does with you. [/quote]
