My sister, who does nothing but criticize me, just called and told me that I am going to have to take care of my mom when she gets out of the hospital. Yes, I live with my folks, but that is because I am on disability and in therapy because of fears like this one. My dad is 78 years old, and my mom is 66, so this gall bladder removal was a fairly serious surgery.


Well, my sister says that when my mother gets home, I will have to make sure she eats right, wash her clothes and bedlinens, etc. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WHEN I CAN'T DEAL WITH MYSELF? I have barely eaten in the last 4 days because of my phobia of sick people. I am too scared to go near my mother and and any of her stuff?


I don't know what to do. Right now I just want to die.
