After reading all of your comments, I feel silly complaining about what I'm going through. My mother has breat cancer and she's almost halfway through her chemo treatment. All of the doctors are sure she'll make it out fine, but the chemo treatment has been hell for her (and the family). I'm 18, about to enter college this fall and I even graduated high school early to help her out. I've done everything she asks and on most days, we have a good time together. Recently I feel like her attitude has changed. When I couldn't do something for her, she got really angry with me. I felt hurt, and then she proceeded to say I lack compassion, don't understand what she's going through, and that she's been reluctant to ask me for help because she thinks I have an attitude (I rarely complain and have been doing everything for her!). Being my mother's caretaker while my dad is working is tiresome, but I've been there for her through it all and even go to every single chemo session. I'm hurt by the things she said and frustrated that she's not being as rational as she normally is. I honestly don't know how to move on and I've kind of become scared of her. I feel like everytime we try to talk about her attitude she makes more digs at me and refuses to apologize for anything. I'm afraid if I don't help her she'll be mad, but when I do, she finds something to complain/be mad about).   Also, this is the only forum I could find where people talk about handling rude sick people - I feel as though I am not allowed to be angry with a cancer patient and I think that's also why my mom is mad at me. She constantly retaliates with how she has cancer as if that makes anything she does wrong okay - does it? ... View more
