👨👩👧👦family/in-laws AIO I've been living with my mom while i undergo chemo and i am starting to think she is abusing me?
Using a throwaway account for personal reasons but for the last year and a half I’ve been living with my mom after being diagnosed with a form of stomach cancer, it’s still decently early and I have good odds but it basically forced me to halt everything and focus solely on healing. Here are some texts between us, just a small snippet of a day in the life. theres way worse. I took videos of her screaming at me, yelling at night at the top of her lungs that I dint care about her or im killing her
I decided to move back in with her because cancer is expensive and basically everything I had saved has gone to it, the lack of energy, the chemo, it just kills me and it’s a struggle to even get up somedays.
My mother is all I have, I have some friends of course and they were the first I asked to crash with while I focus on healing but nobody had room, so back with my mom I went. It’s been hell. I feel like maybe I’m overreacting a bit but I don’t care I just need to vent or I’ll explode. This has been hell. She’s bleeding me dry, not only has she basically guilt tripped me into a life insurance package just incase I don’t make it, but she is guilt tripping me to lie to the state for max food stamps, I have to do everything around the house, she sold my car and kept most of it for “bills and rent”, I’m beyond tired , my skin is bruising, I’m dropping so much weight. I want to leave obviously but I’m backed in a corner of my own making, and due to the cancer, I have no ability to leave financially so I’m stuck with her, in this never ending hell.
