Oh Sylvia, I feel so much for you. The ups and downs, the blustering and the remorse, all the opposites of emotions from one hour to the next - so emotionally draining. Our world is topsy turvey, our heads are spinning, and our hearts are broken so many times in 24 hours.
Margarita, please do think carefully about giving up your job. I'm not sure why your son needed you so badly to be there on that particular day. It seems such a shame if you can't work something out which fits in with caring for your mum. If the worst comes to the worst and you do have to leave, then the suggestion to try to get yourself onto the sick for a few weeks seems to be a very good idea. At the very least your insurance stamps will be paid for a few more weeks.
Take care both of you. I'm thinking of you and hoping that tomorrow will bring a better day.
