My mum has been struck with a lot of good and bad luck throughout her life, she lost her mum when she was in her early 20′s, and had to take care of her 2 brothers and father by herself. She lost her father 10 years ago and her 2 brothers within 6 months of each other 6 years to difference types of cancer. My parents divorce was finalised last summer although they have been separated for 2 years. I suffer from osteoporosis and my brother is dyslexic and my mother suffers from numerous illnesses form brain tumors, blood clots, TIA strokes, asthma, arthritis, shes on the verge of getting diagnosed with MS and she got diagnosed a week before xmas last year with breast cancer. I have tried to be her rock throughout this all. I give her money, pay for some bills, come home and work she doesnt have to, clean the house, just be with her, anything i can do to help her at all but this has taken a serious toll on my health (binge eating), grades (think im starting to fail) and also i have stopped myself from having relationships with guys because it means shes no longer no 1. I don’t know what else i can do to help her and myself, i can see her and me trying not to fall to pieces to be strong. But its getting harder and harder.
