I feel like I am ruining my mums life she told me if she keeps taking one of her medications she only has 9 years left to live she is 45 and I feel like I am ruining everything by being who I am everyone constantly says I am not normal even my mum says I am not and all she ever wanted was normal children and I ruined that for her too.

I don't know how she feels for sure but she may really love you.

Sometimes people decide to take medications that might shorten their lives because they have a better quality of life with them than without them.

Sometime it's better to take medications instead of suffering so much. I know I really need to take mine.

Normal doesn't exists Eden. You are normal, just sick. I can't speak for your mom but as a mom whose raised two special needs children, I can assure you that I love my kids when they are sick and when they are well.

You are important Eden. I wish I could say something to make you believe what I say.

Eden, you are a worthwhile person. Do not think otherwise. Your mother may be a bit overwhelmed.

Why does your mom only have nine years left to live. Sometimes I feel like a bit of a burden to my family it doesn't help when people tell you you are I try to remember I didn't. Choose to be this way he'll I didn't even choose to be born so therefore it's not my fault

She has a lot of different health conditions but the medication she is taking is killing her kidneys and stomach lining and the doctors told her that if she keeps taking it that is how long she has left if she doesn't take it though she is in constant pain and can't move.

I am sorry your mom is so sick. That must be very difficult for both of you.

Not sure yet

Well hopefully you won't have to say goodbye in a year or so and the doctors will be able to help her still it must be very hard on you possibly losing your mother I'm disabled. So I don't know we're I'd end. Up if I lost mine I have a father but men are not very good with women things you know.were would you go if your mother passed?

it is in 9 years which isnt that long but seeing as she has nearly died twice in the last year it could be sooner. i would probably end up on the street to be honest. or with my grandma 6 hours away.

Well I hope you end up with your grandma I don't think in your condition you'd survive on the street
