My older brother is very sick, and my mother absolutely refuses to allow me to accompany her if/when she goes to see him. I haven't been on any sort of trip for well over two years, I have enough money to pay for a ticket, but Mom is yelling at me and complaining that I am making it all about me.

There is also the minor detail that his wife and I don't see eye to eye on most things. We are both very headstrong and Mom doesn't want me to "upset" her anymore than she already is.

Thanks for your kind words Marmaduke. I feel so upset that I feel strangly disphoric, if that makes sense. It seems the best way to discribe my mood right now. I feel that I want to take my anger out on myself somehow.

Please don't harm yourself.

You don't need your mom to see your brother. Buy a ticket online. Get a taxi or other type of shuttle and get yourself to airport and go see your brother. You don't need to accompany her. You can make your own trip. Do so please

I have enough money for a ticket, but not enough for a taxi. I feel tired and wound up at the same time. I hate feeling this way.

ArtChic, i agree with divine... if you want to see your brother, go by yourself. Buy a ticket and just go, and see him while you can. And make it a time for you and him alone. You won't regret it. If you cannot make a trip then call him, he will talk to you. tc

Maybe your mom is right in not wanting to upset your brother, Especially if you and his wife don't get along. I do think that she should at least speak with the wife because its not right to keep you away. Or maybe you could speak with your mother and promise to "come in peace". I really think you should be able to see your brother.

Could you ask someone to give you a ride? How far are you from airport? Honestly how expensive is taxi ride? The only truly expensive taxi I saw was in London. Even NYC is not too bad. Could you charge? Or borrow for a taxi?
Is there a bus?

Sorry your brother is ill. It must be tough
