She wanted her mother to be aware that no matter what they’ve gone through in their relationship, she felt horrible that she was going through this battle with cancer.
Also, she knew that if her mother passed away before she could visit her, she would have had to live with regret for the rest of her life, so she was happy that she chose to see her mother.
A little over a year later, her mother recovered from cancer. Now, she doesn’t know if it was true that her mother had been going through late-stage cancer or how it was possible that she made a huge turnaround in her health.
According to her mother, her medical team made it clear that she most likely wouldn’t survive. After her mother recovered, she used her cancer as a way to guilt trip her into keeping in contact with her.
She had predicted that her mother would do something like this, and she added that having cancer doesn’t absolve her of her abusive behavior throughout the years.
While it’s difficult to admit, she despises her mother for this, and she also feels on some level that her mother passing away would have been easier for her to cope with. It’s as if she’ll never be able to escape from her mother, which is so tiring.
She clarified that cancer is obviously terrible, and she would never wish for anyone to go through it. Sadly, not long ago, one of her friends passed away from cancer.
What advice would you give her?
