Kinda serious question

[luvxander]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, critters of all ages and sizes....Help me figure something out.

Am I going crazy, or is it normal to stop and check your mother's breathing every time you walk by her when she's asleep?

It's almost an uncontrollable urge. Every single time, I have to stop and watch to make sure she's breathing.

This can't be normal behavior, right?

ETA: We have a detect button for location, our media players can even automatically put in what we're listening to....why can't LJ just detect our mood? Why must I type it in every time?

I've had huge abandonment issues ever since I was little and our dad left us. My mom tells me that, for years, every time she would leave the room, I would ask if she were coming back. I guess this is all tied into that, with the not knowing what I'll do if something happens to her?

Which is, of course, why she makes me so mad with the not taking care of herself.

Aah. Yeah, I can see that. I think if the situation with my Mom and Dad were reversed, I'd be feeling much the same as you. As it is I can't help but wonder what I'd ever do if something happen to my Mom.

Not sure what all you can do there except keep on being there for her. *hugs* I've lost people to diabetes, but nobody so close as a Mom. So I hope your Mom will be able to start taking better care of herself. Moms are important!
