So I would never ever say anything to anyone in my own family. And since we all know each other only through this site ( and not through real life ) , I feel like I can get an honest assessment of my own inner being.
So I saved my mothers life roughly about 5 years ago . I walked into the house and she was slumped over the hamper in the bathroom barely breathing. I paused for a few seconds and asked myself if I should let nature take its course . I quickly convinced myself to call 911. Medics came and took her to the hospital and saved her. She had a heart attack.
Over the past 5 years she’s had a rough go of it. A medication she was put on made her blind. Found cancer in one of her lungs, so it was removed. She’s 75% def. A recent heart surgery went wrong, and now she can’t walk. Recent case of shingles has caused her immense pain throughout the nerves in her legs. She’s on multiple pain meds. All she does is complain. She’s under 24/7 home health care and she hates it. And for the cherry on top, Dementia is setting in.
For what would have been a hefty inheritance for me and my brother, is now being drained out of my mothers account over 10k a month. Her heart miraculously is fixed. But she’s not much better than Hellen Keller . So both me and my sibling are
Convinced that she’ll be drained dry over the next few years while she loses her mind and whithers away.
All I had to do was let nature take its course. And I regret not letting that happen. In hind sight, it was the right thing to do.
Am I wrong thinking that?
