my brain chemistry has been altered and i can no longer stand my mom’s behavior.

my mom is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. she went through therapy and took meds for almost 5 years, more or less. my dad was nothing but supportive of her, he became her rock.

before she was diagnosed, she was the most lovely woman you’ll ever meet. extroverted, loves to cook, would always clean and tidy the house. i can remember a few years ago i would witness my mom having panic attacks and she would cry randomly and hyperventilate. as the eldest daughter, i didn’t know what to do. i was a high school student at that time, completely oblivious on what to do and what ways i could help her. there were times that i thought she would kill herself right in front of us, sometimes she would disappear and run away.

as much as i wanted to understand my mother’s situation, i am also her daughter who wanted emotional support from her parents.

fast forward 5 years later, she was off her meds, she stopped experiencing anxiety, and she was doing better. well, so i thought she was.

right after i entered college, i have noticed my mom becoming out of touch. dirty dishes will pile up in the sink, there are no meals prepared for us to eat, and the house would be left cluttered. don’t get me wrong, there’s no problem with me taking care of the household chores, but she’s a housewife who does nothing. she would lay on the couch for hours and not move. she would post nonsense on social media, even sexual innuendos and thirst traps.

i have 2 younger siblings, making me the eldest. my younger sister and i are both in college, and both of the programs we took require 80% of our attention. i am in allied health, to be exact. the youngest sibling is 10 years younger than me.

and while i do love doing house work since it became my hobby to be meticulous with my surroundings, i cannot give my attention 24/7 to taking care of my younger siblings.

my dad, by the way, is the only one working to sustain our family.

my mom is also obsessed with her health physically. she would body shame my siblings and i because we’re “fat”, even though we have a normal bmi. yes, i checked because i became overly paranoid. there were also times that we would cry on big events because of her. namely our own birthday, christmas or new year, and our graduation.

another brain chemistry altering experience i had with her was when i was so tired because it was finals week and noticed that she hadn’t cooked any food for lunch. instead of complaining, i asked them what they wanted to eat. my mom simply answered, “ewan ko sainyo. kumain na ako.”

my mom had already eaten, cooked her food, and didn’t think about her husband or her children who had not eaten. i felt my eye twitch from what i heard. i maintained my composure still and went straight to cooking.

there was a time that she would also lash out because i messed up my cooking but then again, i was young back then.

her behavior is messing with my and my younger siblings’ mental health. i know this because my second youngest sibling would always rant her frustrations.

i went to therapy because of my mom. she doesn’t know though. she has this behavior that if my sister and i get sick she would get mad. if i complain that i am experiencing something, she would also compare her experiences.

an example of this would be me being diagnosed with astigmatism and myopia. she would also compare her situation. mind you, she doesn’t need prescription glasses since when she visited an ophthalmologist she was prescribed reading glasses with a low eye grade, meanwhile my eye grade is high.

there are times she would completely dismiss us too whenever we feel sick, often not buying us medicine. instead, our father does it for us.

with my mom’s current behavior, my stress goes extremely high, and i feel overwhelmed to the point that i get suicidal thoughts. i am scared that if i get triggered enough by her actions i might not make it through the next day.

i am so sick and tired of her, and i am longing for the day that i can get out of this household and no longer have to face her.

i LOVE riley sager. i have read 5 of his books namely: home before dark, final girls, the only one left, lock every door, and the house across the lake.

do you know authors who have a similar writing style, or has this jaw dropping plot twist?

thank you!
