For my mom

I'm really scared for my mom. She has pneumonia, and for some odd reason, gets it every couple of years. Unfortunately, it seems a lot worse this year. She can't even walk sometimes! Right now as I type, I hear her coughing like she's coughing up a lung, and I know she can't hardly get to sleep. And our insurance is really crappy, and they won't pay for our prescriptions, which means that we can't afford the prescription for my mom's pneumonia, or mine for my depression.

Another thing. We have had some family trouble, as in everyone can't get along, and no matter what I say, she still doesn't believe that anyone loves her. I know i have trouble getting along with her because my beliefs aren't the same as hers, but I still love her anyway. May God help me find a way to express how I feel, and that she gets my message, and I'm praying for her to get better soon. Please pray for her as well.

I will pray for you mother and your whole situation.

I also can't afford medical treatments because I have no health insurance. I've needed ear surgery for the lonest time but I have no money to pay for it. So I know how y'all may feel.

Also, sometimes my mom sometimes says or believes I don't love her because I don't have the same religious beliefs as her-- though she knows I care. My mom is the type that "has" to be right no matter what, even if she is wrong. So when I have a different belief it makes it worse-- she flips out and starts to yell because she she "has" to be right... So if I believe something else it's a sign of rebelling in her eyes.

I've found that sometimes parents hate for their kids to have different beliefs; they think they know what is right. Once she said, "you don't love me, if you did you would believe what I believe, even if I was wrong." I mean seriously... Anyways, most of the time parents know we care but it's easier for them to think or believe that way to have the kids pitty them into feeling the same way. Kind of like a defense mechanism to avoid more hurt. I'm not saying it's true in your case, but that's what I've come to understand in my situation.

Just continue to pray and show your mother that you care. I'll also keep you and your mother in my prayers - both the physical and emotional aspects.

Thank you so much everyone. Time for an update!

Mom is up and moving around! :thumb: Her cough has subsided for the most part, and she can get some sleep. She still feels a little weak, but I thank God that her suffering for the most part has subsided.

I still haven't reached her. I did a RAK (random act of kindness) and bought her a vanilla shake (her favorite). She seemed to appreciate it, but when I told her that I loved her, she said, "Yeah, right (sarcastically)." I insisted, and then Mom said, "Sure, whatever (again sarcastically)." I hope she'll soon see that I'm being honest and sincere. I understand it takes more than a milkshake, that was just me doing her a favor.

Dad's been arguing with her again, so with that and the fact that she thinks she's unloved, Mom's been very depressed.

I know what ur going through SereneDolphin. My mother had breast cancer. She got it in 1993 and it returned in 1999. During her 2nd time she had it, She lived for 4 years.. At first she took kemo therapy (I think thats how u spell it) but then she took somthing else. It was amazing that she lived like that. God gave her more time to be with us. And I know that in her last year of her life, she accepted Jesus as her savior. ^_^ I will pray for you and your mother. And that you will all be happy and close. ;)
