How do I get my mom to just relax and take it easy?
She's always on the go, doing everything in the household! She cooks everyday with the exception of Sundays because she attends church and I take over but even then, she does most of the prep the night before so I have it really easy.
I feel for her because when she cooks she never eats any food and when I try to share my dinner with her, she refuses because she wants me to eat. I get so frustrated with her sometimes because ever so often, she's suffering from gas from skipping meals frequently.
She has the absolute worst husband who doesn't give 2 cents about her but only cares that his meals are prepared and she cleans the house. My mom has to constantly be on meds for hypertension and because she's constantly worrying over our financial hardship and finding the money to cook meals, her pressure keeps skyrocketing.
I try to help when I can with money and buying food but with a full time job, there's only so much I can do to help clean the house. My other siblings that live here hardly makes an effort to help her. Everyone just look to her on a daily for dinners and they haven't given her a dime. Recently, she's been having a really bad backache, which aren't that unusual with her but she seems to be in more pain now and my heart breaks just thinking about it.
I wish I had enough money to take her out to help her relax and unwind. I try to do it every year in December after I get bonus but I wish my budget allowed it every month.
I love her so much for all she's endured and continue to stand tall and smile each day. She's truly the most SELFLESS person I've EVER met.
