how to handle my mum?

Postby cool » Wed Oct 12, 2011 12:20 pm

My mum is 75 yrs old ,she a stroke patience n also senile.... she can walk all by herself with the help of the walking stick. My family n i are mad about her because her behaviour is just a small kid but some time she also very fierce and smart.

I have try to treat her as young child cause she could not remember certain thing but sometime she can remember her youth day !!!!

She love to take paper n pen n jot down any words she saw around her, she can wake up in the middle of the night and start writing :( My helper will have problem looking after her at this hrs....she can b very dirty as in picking up the toilet paper that left in the toilet bowl, she will pick thing from the floor n put it in her mouth.....lots of thing that normal human will not do....but she will ...

I already hv tones of worried , sometimes when the whole house are noisy because of her, i got the urge to bring her out of the house and go to other world so i can meet my brother and also give my family a peace of mind, instead of the frastration we face everyday.

I use to have a happy n jovial family. now i cant feel the same as before. I hate the nag nag n all the noise n scolding, am tired very tired. Every day coming back from work, i will hear tonne of complaint about my mother ...

It my duty to take care of my mum. I need to protect her. I cant leave her alone..... Nobody understand my situation, i wanted to voice out but my chest n my mind stop me from doing all this.... i can feel the pressure start from the throat to the head, had try to release but i cant.... how to bring back my mum to be her normal self....

Thanks Fais for the comfort msg. Am 4yrs ur senior n my dad pass away this yr. In my life of 43yrs, sadly to say i only know him less then a yr cos he work oversea n only come back for passport renewel n also he had another family in tat country.

Since young i have tell myself , i will give all my love to my mum cos she nv remarry nor complaint of hardship by raising the 3 of us. Unfortunately, she got a stroke when she was age 55.

Her condition get worst n become senile when she got a second stroke 8yrs ago. Doctor also got no medication for her condition (senile), only normal standard medication for her high blood pressure n cholestro...

I hate to see my hubby for scolding her again n again over every morning n night, it hurt me but knowing she is really dirty n disgusting on her behaviour.
I love her n my hubby. Am just sandwich in between the 2.

There are many occassion , i wanted to voice out n talk to my hubby but just words cant come out from my mouth . It the pressure from my neck to my head, i just dun understand why i cant do it during then. Maybe am just soft spoken n hide all pressure for myself.

I can feel my kids dun like the nag nag n noise at home. I may consider selfish n have the thinking by committing suicide with her will help ease the frastrution at home. But everytime come to my sense , what if am not successfull in suicide n end up half paralyse ....

I just hope n pray to God n informing my decease brother to give back my mother her normal self....

Fais, thanks for all the support and suggestion. I understand ur position cause my mum-in-law is almost same as ur mummy :( lucky she not staying with me, if not my house will b up side down.

I have try to ask for few nursing home for my mum, but we cant afford it cos it really very expensive in SG. I have a helper to look after my house n my mum but still struggle for every month bills .

Lets us start our prayer and hope God will answer it soooon. Wish U all the best and break free too
