first and foremost, thank u for reading this.
Im 19, female. its been 5 years since my dad got stroke and my mum is half blind..so all of the attentions and care goes to him for he cannot talk or move as usual..
i've once cried infront of her, she never tried to comfort me..although with all this burden im feeling..whenever i try to tell her, she just wont listen..never tries..5 years i had to go through many things..for 5 years i've been keeping it in me..
so,why is she being like this to me?its hard on me..thank u..
try this- instead of going to your mom for help, try being there for her first. You know that saying that goes "treat people how you want to be treated"? well apply that to your situation. If you are there for you mom, then she will do the same for you.
One day just go up to her and say "hey mom I know you've been having a rough past months and years. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Do you want to talk about anything?" Try doing a few nice things for her like cooking her dinner, cleaning up the house a little, buy her a gift. That will show her that you appreciate her, and she will most likely return the favor by listening to you when you have a problem.
Also, try telling her you have a problem. She is not a mind reader, so she can't tell something is wrong just by looking at you. You need to initiate the conversation and bring it up. Simply just say "hi mom I have a problem and I was wondering if you would listen to me and help me out?" That way she knows something is wrong and will help. Instead of having to guess if something is wrong or not.
