My 73 year old mother remembers the day her mother slapped her and told her she didn't love her; that she was never meant to be born, and that she expected a son.

Words matter.

I've been very sick. My best friends have been very sick (one has two different cancers at the same time). We have never said that to our difficult teens. All three of us have teens with clinical diagnoses: ADHD, autism, and one has an oppositional disorder. All three of us have had issues with our husbands and I've considered divorce. Middle age with disease, teens and midlife crises was always going to be a totally shit time!!!

I hope you will never say that again, and that one day, you will tell her you love her. Because she's going to remember your words forever. My mother contributed very little to her mother's eldercare, while her sister did a lot more. There comes a point where the bond breaks and can never be repaired.

Best wishes for your recovery, OP. Hugs to you and your teen.
