My mother's health is failing...

I was told from my dad that my mum was taken to hospital due to her health deteriorating. I last seen her on Thursday. I knew she had suffered from breathlessness recently, because she normally came out to help me with my shopping in my area. I thought it was the effects of having a cough.

I am majorly concerned. My mother was always a heavy smoker. She has fluid in her lungs which she is bringing up, so they cannot even insert a needle in her to attempt to drain it. Apart from hearing about that, I am also aware that she is experiencing a semi-working kidney because they found out it's not big enough, and has very high blood pressure over 100 (whatever way they measure this). My God.

This isn't looking good at all. I feel really anxious. :(

When my dad was telling me now bad this is, I told him I cannot be seated. It's depressing.

I found out my sister is pregnant with her third child, but her former partner is now ignoring her.
 
I am sorry@ Paul Lee. This is incredibly difficult for you and yoyr family. It is very little, but kniw that we hear your worry and fear and we wish you did not have either.
Be with your mother as much as you can and as joyfully as you are able.
 
I feel sad to hear your mom is doing poorly. Please see her when you can. I lost mine two years ago to a severe stroke and I worked hard to see her wishes were met for end of life care. My siblings were all in agreement. Doing that also comforted me.
 
I'm sorry, Paul, and send you love. Always so difficult to deal with serious illness and potentially death (and actual death) in those we love. And also with family friction.

I understand your situation I were in similar one , just the only thing I did was stay in the visits the most time I could, pray and trust in the doctors that were at charge only. When things turns that bad we only can trust in the doctors and in anybody you believe if you believe in that is like all.

I hope your mom somehow gets better and you also try to stay for your mom she needs you but needs you ok otherwise would she also get depressed and wouldn't help at all.
 
It is always difficult to have a family member who is extremely ill. If you can, see your mom. I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is really difficult to have an ill parent and feel hopeless with anxiety about what may happen. I hope that your mom gets better. As for your sister's relationship, let her deal with that. You have a lot more to worry about.
 
Always so sorry to hear of situations like this.
My Mom was my only family and I wasn't there when she died.
I'll always regret that.

I hope the best for you and your Mom. It isn't easy.
 
I went to visit my mum yesterday. While she was responding, my mum is still very unwell. :(

She was very stressed out over the last few years because of a conflict with my sister's ex partner and my nephew, so I think this significantly raised her blood pressure. These issues have been ongoing.

My mum was only receiving Zoom calls, but the contact had to be arranged through paying a lawyer privately. That's rather expensive, though.

As you know, I haven't had the best of times either. My mum was going to help me pursue legal action against my former support personnel. I've rang up a solicitor's office in Glasgow, but they think I should try to acquire a legal aid friendly lawyer, as I do qualify. The trouble there is, that they claim it's a civil matter, so you don't really receive legal aid for disputes. But as you know, this was all to do with accusations against myself.

Meh. It's a real bore. I think my mum and I may have to forget about that garbage, as hard as it is. The social services in the UK is beyond ridiculous, but they're difficult to fight. They're corrupt.

All the best, from Peter.

See if an autism advocate group in Glasgow can help !

Not to turn this into another rant about the former support workers, I will just say that I did contact advocacy firms in Edinburgh numerous times already. To be honest, I got the impression they didn't want to know, and it was the same with all of these solicitors that I contacted.

I did email a guy yesterday, who is acting as a supervisor. I told him that I am basically done caring about this legal jive. Not that I ever cared about this drivel anyway. But I care even less now. Life is too short to waste your time worrying about morons who are only trying to bring you down, so they can gain some sad sense of gratification. But it sure is nice to get yet another, "I couldn't detect a violation of YouTube's service" message whenever I have to report this highly ignorant Australian troll for stealing my content to use in his videos. This is after I went into detail in the reply about why he behaves like an idiot online. He even had the audacity to call the channel he has by my user name. The one I use for gaming discussions elsewhere. He also monitors me on other forums, subscribes to my friend and I with hidden accounts, and tries to tamper with filmography entries on databases. Like, he uploads dumb looking photos of me, or makes entries for things that are not supposed to be on there, so I have to constantly file removal requests.

I did find a firm that may be interested in my case. But I don't fancy the thought of having to squander five grand. This is quite expensive.

The lawyer I had before, is bent, because he never spoke up in the courts I had to go to. In fact, I called him ages ago, in regards to a USB drive with evidence, that I once handed to him in person. He didn't take the call seriously at all. I'm actually surprised that I didn't completely lose the plot that day, because he really was being a tosser.

Nobody needs this hassle.
