i feel like my whole world is being stolen from me

ashleigh91 — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 22:17:15 GMT

My mum is really sick she has stage 4 lung cancer. Its been going on for 8 years, the poor thing has been through so much health wise and i have struggled to be there for her due to my own issues.

I have got addiction problems and that has really impacted my life and others.

My daughter whos 12 is in permanent care with my mum who we share responsibilities looking after her. I know i was not the best daughter over the last 10 years but i have had significant other traumas as well.

My mum has now told me out of the blue to leave our house cos she is going to move with my daughter to the country and she wants to leave my daughter with my aunt who we are not even close with. She has completely turned on me in everyway so much so that yesterday i went nuts. I mean i help my mum with everything i try to be there to help her but she doesnt want me anywhere near her all of a sudden..

Im just struggling with the fact that she has pulled the rug from beneath me and i dont know how im going to cope with no family, i dont even know where im going to be living. Ive got no brothers or sisters, no dad no family. only my kids and my partner who has an upcoming court case in april and might potentially be going to jail. i feel so down.

Hi Paul,

I really appreciate your reply, and I might take you up on that advice cos my life is feeling like it’s too overwhelming to handle on my own.

kind regards,

Ashleigh 🙂
