Hey, I've been following your story a little in chat, your mom was wrong to bring her issues into the hospital room w/ you.

It sounds like to me that your mom is under a great deal of stress. She doesn't have you at home, she most likely has a large amount of hospital bills to be responsible for. Could she possibly be putting up a wall and trying to protect herself from the fact that your are in serious condition and she could have lost you and then she would really be alone. Sometimes we react poorly to stress and we do the best we can to cope w/ the things placed in fount of us.

I am not defending your mom, just trying to look at both sides. Does your mom have a trusted therapist. It sounds like one might be needed or be helpful for her.

Still that doesn't make it right to hurt the ones we love. You have incredible strength. You look crap in the face and kick butt. Good for you.
