Hello Everyone,

Thanks so much for your support and advice on my situation.

I won’t let my mom down, she took care of me and raised me. I want to give her back all she gave to me and more.

I talked to her doctor, they pointed her to a psychologist specialized in people who suffer from a degenerative disease such as MS. She has been seeing the psychologist for about two months and she started seeing him because we made her do it…we noticed that she missed many appointments on purpose. She is still working with the psychologist but it is a private session and I don’t really know what’s going on.

She is on anti-depressants, I believe she has been on them since a year ago…but honestly, things just got worse. She blames her anti-depressants for her sleepiness and says that she prefers to be sleepy than to be “depressed”.

About her job, well…she basically works 3 hours a day Monday to Friday. She doesn’t really do much…fortunately, her job doesn’t require much. She usually sits for 1 hour checking her facebook and the rest she sends emails or organizes paperwork on her desk.

Today something new happened. My brother bought her a new phone 6 months ago. Nice decent phone. She lost it today. This is the 4th one she loses. I bought her one, my dad bought her one, she bought herself one and this last one. My brother is upset because my mom just said, “I can’t find my phone, I think I lost it again…” I know and understand she is handling a lot of things…but I think my brother was expecting at least an “I’m sorry this happened again” but she never did. She says is not her fault she can’t keep track of her phones…but she keeps asking everyone for a new phone. (by the way, my dad, my brother and I spent 2 hours looking for the phone and we couldn’t recover it)

I will get her psychologist’s number and schedule an appointment with him to see what’s going on, I will talk to her neurologist about this situation. I really hope they can find a way to help her out. Maybe the solution is not within me…maybe it is something that requires professional treatment, medicine or some kind of therapy that goes beyond myself.

Thanks for all your comments and messages. I will keep you posted.
