I’m growing weary of my mom‘a constant want to be around me. It has grown to an almost unhealthy level and I don’t have the heart to do anything but comply. She thinks I love her company, when in truth, I’m emotionally numb and exhausted from her constant need to be around me. We’ve both been through a lot and it’s understandable, but she doesn’t want to spend time with anyone else. I can’t live my own life out of guilt. She has no one. My eldest brother couldn’t be bothered by her.

I’ll miss her when she’s gone, I’ll be in hysterics, but right now she’s driving me absolutely mad.
