Well my girlfriend is upset cause her mom doesn't let her take shower without her mom around. She used to have bad seizures. But her seizures are under control with a nerve stimulator. My girlfriend has to wait until her mom is around even though her dad and brothers around And also its not even doctors orders. Her mom went to a convention for 5 days wouldn't let take a shower while she got back. My girlfriend is 33 years old.MY girlfriend cannot drive. Her mom brought up her money, disability and her past experiences. And my girlfriend snapped at her mom. And her mom treats her like a kid and down talk to her. And my girlfriend waits on her mom hand and foot and expects it all the time Does all the chores and gets no help with her older brothers. Her mom expects too much out of her all the time. Also her mom criticizes of what she wears.Her mom asks her what she is doing with me. And one day she got tattled on by the bank and the community. My girlfriend told me that there is spies in town cause everyone knows her. My said she has no freedom cause of how her mom treats her. This whole thing upsets. She has a hard time even asking her mom about certain things. My girlfriend and her mom used to be buddies but not anymore. Please help us, thanks...

Your girlfriend needs to move out of her parents' house and gain full independence. That's probably the best solution.

Living on Your Own
What Is Epilepsy Staying Healthy I get that your gf cannot drive, due to her disability. However, seriously, showering?! Where's the boundaries?! Is your gf in counseling?! I'd recommend a qualified therapist, perhaps her neurologist can recommend one! 33 years old, and having to live life like this?! OK, she has epilepsy! So don't many people. Many people, manage OK, on their own! Lots of people have various neurological ailments, and manage, independently, just fine!! She could look into something like LifeLine or one of those programs to have something to press, in an emergency, when taking a shower! This, is most concerning. I can see why you are reaching out for help. But until, she recognizes, where to turn? I don't know what more you can do. Now, this whole thing about 'spies', is there something that needs to be added to this story? |
