My mom she had done so much for me she has been abuse by many ex's. and worked a job she hates to make sure i have everything she so calm. Right now i have a stepdad he is cool but a mess maker my mom never gets a break she cleans the house when she wakes up to when she goes to sleep i try to help her now and then just to ease her and she says shes fine but i know she really not so i pray to god things well get better for her i love her for all shes done thank you.
My brain. She is constantly bitching about everyrhing and telling me how i will never be good enough and nobody loves me. F**k you brain. I wish i liked alcohol just to punish you.
My stepmom.
She expects more out of me then anyone else in my life. My boyfriend, my mom, siblings, and Dad don't even expect that much out of me. I feel like almost suffocated and wish I could just live my life without walking on eggshells. She's incredibly harsh when you don't do what she wants. She's made me cry for a whole day once when she's blown up at me. Sometimes you don't even know what will upset her and she'll be upset with you without even knowing why. This isn't the way loved ones treat each other and I really wish I could 'break up' with her for my mental health's sake. I accidently forgot to text her on her birthday one year. To be fair had just started a new job and worked all day and the day came and went. I noticed my mistake and tried to make it up to her and she was extremely unkind. I had already apologized and was trying. That was the most brutally I have ever been treated in my life. I would wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks thinking I missed her birthday again. What drives me the most crazy is how brash she is but if anyone talks to her like that she cuts them out of her life like she gets a special pass or something. In her eyes she is the only one allowed to be human and it is really not fair. And she never apologizes ever. You have to kiss her feet until she forgives you even if she was the one that was wrong. I really will not be doing this anymore. I found out through my sibling that they did the same thing as I did that my stepmother blew up at me about. My sibling didnt get blown up at so I am seemingly being targeted.
My mom. She's in a nursing home now - so about the highest maintenance there can be. She's amazing despite everything.
If you're talking about 'High maintenance' as in someone who just takes a lot to be around then that's one of my sisters. She always has Drama - there is never a moment where the sky isn't falling or the world isn't burning down. I honestly have no idea how she hasn't collapsed yet to be honest. I love her but even trying to catch up on what I missed turns into a 9 hour re-cap of everything I've missed in two weeks. It's like a row of domino's - one thing created 9, 427 other problems.
My cat. She will whine supper loud to get anything she wants, an open window, a certian blanket, more food, attention, wanting the dog to go away. Also, Also, she will only eat if she is being petted. Very high maintenance cat, I love her
This isn't recent. But I have a friend, Heath, who got severe electrical burns about four years ago. It was just as I was moving out of my parents house and I got a call from the hospital saying that I was the emergency number on his sheet. They told me that I was his only contact, and I needed to file a report. After Heath was sent home, I took care of him for six months, treating his scars and helping him learn to eat again. Most of the damage is done to his face, dragging his lips down on the right side, and blinding his right eye as well. He's a violinist, and thanks to hospital care and simple lovingkindness, he's playing again. In the years since the accident, he has attempted to commit suicide (overdose on painkillers) and slitting his wrists. He received therapy, and a helluva lot of hugs from me. We live together, and he recently graduated online college with a degree in music theory!!
My mom.
Nothings ever enough for her. no matter how high my grades are, or how many chores i do, or how many books I read or essays I write or how much time i spend with her and tell her I love her or how many gifts i give her for mothers day or her birthday, no matter how perfect of a child I am, it wont be enough for her. if I have a 99% in a class, she goes "why isnt it a 100?" if i get 23/24 on a test, she'll ask why i missed that one question, and how it proved i obviously didnt study and i need to be disciplined. If im home one minute later than i said id be, if i have one thing i didnt tell her, if i forgot to hug her before i went to sleep. She looks for reasons to get pissed off and she is never satisfied with anything. And then she wonders why I need a break from her.
My husband
But I won't complain. In sickness and health till death do us part. Im here for him no matter what. Someday I can't think. Others I am on top of it all. All I got to say is organ transplant surgery has its ever long lasting effects. I wish this upon no one.
I have a "friend" who faked DID and threatened to burn my friend's house down and made me feel like I had to carry a pocket knife around wherever she was.
