In the past 24 hours or so, my Mom's gone from moody to physically ill. Just depressed looking, complaining about having back and stomach pain, and using phrases like, "I'll just die already," including have a poor appetite and not eating much. This is the exact same way she acted after she met my now ex-girlfriend in the summer. I believe she is not feeling well, but I'm assuming this is a result of her own actions, especially since our "talk" over the weekend.
I've continued my routine, working on my project, and just overall being civil with her. I know this is all part of her trying to make me feel sorry for her, but I'm not falling for it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm worried about her, and don't want her to be sick, but all I keep saying to myself, is that she's done this to herself, I did nothing wrong to make her feel this way. I know someone suggested in an earlier post that she'll do things like this, even to go as far as doing herself physical harm. That worries me a lot. As hurt, angry and disappointed I am with her, I do love her, and want her to be healthy. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
