I don't think you all realize how lucky you are to have a mom. I have a mom, obviously. But as far as I'm concerned she is completely lifeless. It's a serious problem. And the affect it's having on our family isn't nearly as much as the affect it's having on me.
A child growing up needs tender, love, and care from a mother and a father. Well now, I don't have a father. I do, but we just happen to be 831.95 miles apart, 14 hours to be exact. I have a step-dad but to me I've never thought of him to take place as that 'father role'. To me, the words dad, father, or daddy does not exist. It is nowhere to be found in my vocabulary. Nor is that little slot for a dad to be, in my life. It just does not exist for me. Me speaking about how I don't have my father, is not the point of this. It's just, that is what a regular child should have, a father and a mother, to take care of them from day one.
Now, I don't have a father. I have a mother. I can't relate nor will I ever know, but I can see how hard it is to be a single mother taking care of their child. I do. She was the best mom she could be, she has had a lot of issues. So for her, she was a great mom. And always tried her best.
A year ago a lot of chaotic drama went on. She has always taken a massive amount of pills for all her problems. Well, evidently something was wrong with certain ones and with certain problems of hers. She checked herself into the hospital last Halloween. For about a week none of us knew where she went, we just knew she drove off in an angry temper tantrum. We thought the worst. I was praying constantly asking "God" to look out for my mom. I was crying every night wondering what our future was holding. I had found out from my step-dad she was in the hospital. I still was crying. I was upset, I always felt whenever she was in the hospital it was because of me. I was crying also because I was relieved to know she was alive. Anyways, this whole story also really has nothing to do with where I am going with this, only partially it does.
So, while she was in the hospital that instant I saw her for the first time in a week there was a drastic difference in her appearance, in her personality. Everything. They had changed her medication and the doses. She became very, very, very slow. Last summer she was fast, because of her medicine. And I honestly don't think we was able to keep up with it all. And that was one of the main reasons she checked herself into the hospital. But to me it seems all the doctors really did, was slow her down. Instead of carefully doing tests, or whatever the fuck they do, to figure out what exactly was right for her. I despise who ever gave her this medication. I despise the doctor for increasing her doses, when as it is she was already really slow. My mom had a checkup, she apparently told the doctor things, and the doctor felt it was necessary to increase it. Well, what mom didn't mention was how she drastically changed. Every single person who was once involved or who is still involved in her life, has noticed this difference. Except, me, my grandma, and sister are the only ones who have actually talked about it to her. She doesn't notice any difference.
Now what is included in my vocabulary is the habit of constantly repeating myself, repeating her name, over and over and over and over again. For instance..
"Mom...mom?..*Really interesting story* mom. Did you here me? Mom? Mom? Mom?"
No, no, no. I don't even think that's anywhere close to clearing anything up. She takes a half an hour to respond. And when she does make a statement or talk for a second, it's the biggest shock in the world. She doesn't talk. She's like a wall, having a conversation with her is like talking to a wall. As it is I have no one to talk to. Being home schooled, having zero friends, I have no one. I don't have my sister any more, she's gone up some guys ass. So, I have my mom. Which to begin with, all children, all teenagers, all daughters always go to their mom for advice, for a rational conversation, for love, for support. But it is not like that at all.
I can't even count how many times I've fought with her, over her not being sensitive, or being supportive. She's the complete opposite. When you're already down, she's the kind of person who will kick you down even lower. She stomps all over you. I can honestly say, it is the most stressful thing I have ever dealt with. I'm losing hair over it. My hair is drastically thinning. And do you know how horrible that is for a sixteen year old girl to deal with? Hair is, everything to me. I cry at the thought of me going bald. I know I'm very sensitive. But a girls hair is very important to her. I'm already hideous. Why not? Why not make me go bald as well?
I often find myself wishing my grandma was my mom. She's rational, she's sensitive, she's RATIONAL, she's RATIONAL, she's RATIONAL, she's RATIONAL, she gives good advice, and she gives amazing support. I'm glad I have at least one person like that in my life. So fortunate to have my grandma. But it's very unfortunate that my grandma is only here to visit for 4 - 5 months a year. Every winter she leaves to go to Florida with her husband, to be with his family. I still don't understand it. I absolutely hate it when she leaves us.
I feel like I am the mom in our relationship. I'm always the one conversing with her. Well, you know what? It's not even conversing, because it takes one and one to have a conversation. So, basically I'm just speaking to her, constantly saying, mom?
This blog is very scattered about. I can't make the right sentences match with the right category. It's very scrambled. And putting this tragedy into words is very hard to do. Because it's hard to explain. I'd rather you witness it in person than me try to explain. You'd see how very difficult it is.
I am always crying all the time because of this. It's so upsetting. I need a mom. I don't have a father. I have a mom. I need her. She's not here. She's lifeless. And when I say it's like speaking to a wall, I. am. not. lying.
I'm always trying to explain to her, all of this. Every word, sentence I've entered here. I am always trying to explain. She is completely irrational, she'll either start a fight over it or she'll zone out. I just don't see how this is fair. I really don't. It's like Satan created the perfect situation for himself to be amused by. That's what I feel my life is all about..
I really think I should get a therapist rather than opening up about how depressing my life is on here. Because most likely this will be another blog that no one reads, and if for some reason anyone does they'll be hysterically laughing at my unfortunate situation.
I have had several opportunities to talk with a therapist. But my mind is always scattered, and no matter how hard I try it's hard to put thoughts into words that come out of your mouth. It's hard to do on here, it's impossible to do in person. My mind is just all over the place with all my issues. It's hard to collect them all and speak these words..
