My son wants me to die.
Earlier today I spoke with my son after not talking to him for several months. He has been very abusive towards me especially since I was first diagnosed with cancer in 2013. Back in September, I got really, really sick with sepsis from an infection I picked up at the hospital the prior week. I had a 106.5 degree fever and was delirious. I called my son to help me, but he wouldn’t help me. Today he told me that he actually wants me to die. And that’s why he refused to help me.
I have always been a good mom. I helped him with his drug addiction after he stole and abused me. I let him live with me after he lost everyone and everything.
He has been callous and cruel for years, but I guess I was delusional for believing that he actually loves me.
How do you overcome this pain?
I am cutting myself off from him because he will never stop hurting me. I’m devastated. I don’t want to talk to him or see him anymore.
