[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is a retired educator and she always talks about how people relate to her and tell their life story to her. She gives some of the these friends money when they need it and says she is blessed by helping others.

I am an only child and when I took ill in my 20's she came to town and spent one night in my apartment and asked my doctor when he discharged me if he would give me a ride home. I was on bed rest for a week and she wanted to know why my Boyfriend's mom (who was in town visiting him) did not prepare my meals. Finally, when diagnosed with cancer she came for a week at the beginning before chemo and a year later came for a week when I had a mastectomy. The months in between she told the folks in the same town where I grew up that she was here taking care of my elementary and middle school children when she was actually in Atlantic City.

I tolerate her presence once a year or two at most for my teenagers. No, I won't go home in November when she is recognized as volunteer of the year.

This almost made me cry. I hear you. It is sad and the rest of the world will never know the truth. 
Just don't repeat it. 
Tell your kids when they are old enough to understand so that they don't repeat it.
Best of luck with your treatment. [/quote]
