my mother has been ignoring my texts and phone calls because I wouldn't rush to her aid while I was taking care of myself for a hernia and bad abdominal pain, all while having a slight mixed episode. I let her know what was going on and she never responded. It made me feel bad she didn't even care and I'm sorry she feels neglected but I have been bending over backwards every time she needs something especially medically related.

I guess I was overwhelmed by all her medical appts, which I was taking her too. But when I need to look after myself and can't drop what I'm doing, she acts like this. My Wife thinks she is being childish, ignorant and spiteful because I needed to take a break and look after myself and my family.

What also bugs me is that she doesn't really understand my diagnosis. She says things like: It's all in your head, I don't believe in all those meds, snap out of it, you need to get out more etc etc blah blah blah. anyone have family like this that drains you? I think I needed a break but she acts this way when I don't jump thru hoops for her. does anyone else set boundaries when family members get toxic for your mental health? she does emotional drive bys and is an energy vampire sometimes.

ok, just wanted to vent. thanks everyone for listening. hope you are all well.
