The Back ground....
My mother is 55 years old, she has been diagnosed with "refractive seizure disorder with severe cognitive impairment". She also suffers from depression and general anxiety disorder. My father died in January, so she has moved in with me. I can manage fine, it's my family that is suffering. They don't understand the way her mind works. They get upset with her, then with me for defending her. HELLLPPPPP!!!
you will be angry -that is normal- you have been cheated out of a childhood
theraphy would be a good place to start
have you ever tried to talk to a therapist ?
you need to start spending your energy on yourself
and not feeling angry and resentful and scared
find some good friends and stay away from your family- they are not healthy -
take care
