Im feeling so low and tearful. So mothers day is coming up and last night I got a text of my brother saying “away this weekend sending a card to you to take into mum”. Got the same message in January on her birthday. He went in 2 weeks before Christmas and hasn’t been in since. When mum fell and fractured her pelvis I texted him from hospital to tell him and he replied” ok I will be over in 2 weeks” – it was 2 months and he never rang or texted to find out how mum was. Yes it’s a journey of 1 hour each way but it’s a journey I done once a week for 10 years, when mum livid at home and I moved out area, but what he expected me to do 4/5 times a week ( to do things like put her wheelie bin out) though he livid 10 mins away from her then( never went to visit her). Our lovely mum never ever treated us differently – what she did for one she did for other - and whilst my brother will say he has never been close to mum he was when he needed to borrow her car/money or need help. Im watching my mother fade away from me day in day out and he never texts or ring to find out not only how mum is but how I am. Im crying so many tears for my lovely mum. She doesn’t deserve this from her son. Im lucky that I have a wonderful husband and the most wonderful MIL/SIL but I still feel so alone coping with all mums dementia throws at me. Last year he came over to see mum 3 times and I never hear from him at all. I know he deals with financial stuff for mum and I appreciate that but some moral support? Is that to much to ask? Just a simple text ”hows mum” that’s all. Sorry but feeling so so low and tears keep flowing
