Apparently after all this time, all these years, mom's still abusing laxatives. I've noticed her taking what she insists are stomach-ache pills and because she does have gallbladder issues I didn't put 2-and-2 together cause I never did see the bottle. But today she went to get groceries and as usual I helped her unpack and, lo and behold, there's two bottles of laxatives in there plus a bottle of pills for gas. Ugh. Its affecting her too, its gotta be why in the past few years she's had a kidney infection and liver damage. It was one of those things were she went to the doc for one thing and in doing all the tests they found a bunch of other issues. I suspected it back then but I never said anything, I just let her complain about how she doesn't meet the risk factors cause she doesn't drink and she exercises and she insists she eats healthy. I want to confront her but I know she won't listen to reason or confrontation. Its something she's gotta figure out and tackle on her own, but after all these years I just don't think she ever will. But don't get me wrong I'm not concerned out of love for her. I'm angry and I think she's being a huge hypocrite, immature, and a horrible influence. I'm putting my head where its not wanted because I don't approve of it, really. I think its a nice bit of karma that she's given herself all these health issues from what may as well be an eating disorder at this point.
