Hi,
I have been in this situation and so have other people that I have known. My grandmother had cancer, but she didn't survive. That was over ten years ago.
It is a lot of hard work taking care of someone who is that sick. YOur friends are right when they say she can't help it. She feels miserable and she only wishes that she could have her life back to the way it was.
She feels guilty because she can't take care of herself and has to rely on other people especially her 16 year old daughter. She's supposed to be taking care of you. This probably makes her feel miserable. Every time she sees you, she is reminded of this. She doesn't mean it. You are lucky you and your father can support each other through this trying time.
The best thing I can tell you is to try and take some time out for yourself and have a good time. Make your time just that. I know it sounds easier said than done, but you have to do it. YOu have to find some time to be happy.
Also try and talk to a counselor maybe. A lot of centers have support groups for families in your situation. It really helps to talk to other people who are in similiar situations. It helps you to understand better and when you are done, you can go home to your mother with a better spirit.
It really works. Just give it a try. I know you love your mum very much. YOu are perfectly normal to feel the way you do. I hope I helped you some.
Good luck to you and your family.
