Struggling

When my mum was sick with billary sepsis from PC cancer, she distanced herself and didn’t want to speak, it’s hard because as a mother you want control and it’s hard when the mother and child role is reversed; a mums instinct is always to protect and I guess what you mum is doing is very normal but not necessarily helping. I found it difficult because caring for her was my way of coping and showing my love, now we do other things like I ask her to braid my hair or paint my nails it’s still nice and we are both comfortable and it makes both of us feel good. You I don’t know your mum personally but you could do something small together that makes her feel like your mum xxx
