My mom called me at work today and just started yelling at me about Aunt Ginger. It was so much, and non-stop I just kinda shut myself off from listening- just had the phone to my ear, but my hand was working away at the computer. I think she was mad about some message my Aunt Ginger had left. My mom said she had purposely had the doctor talking in the background about how the MRI wasn’t signed for yet. My mom thinks Aunt Ginger is trying to make her feel she can’t properly take care of dad, or do the business that has to be done around the hospital efficiently because she is at work all day. My mom said she doesn’t want Aunt Ginger to call the hospital to find out about dad anymore. I told her, “But she is Dad’s sister.” And after that comment, she blew up at me and thought that I was choosing sides or something, I completely wasn’t, I just said it because I felt it. I know now, that I can’t say anything in this matter, and have to stay completely neutral milk hotel because I will get shot down. My mom said that there are only 2 names on the list of people that can call and ask questions, find out stuff etc.: My mom, and Barbara. Barbara is not even a family member. This boggles my mind. I don’t like being in the middle of this and relaying messages back and forth.
It makes me angry that my mom is being so petty and complaining about stuff all the time, and causing fights with family, when the most important thing right now is Dad and his well-being. Also, she’s been telling him all this stuff, and he really doesn’t need to know. All he needs to know is that family is there for him when he needs it; loving him and supporting him.
