I’m sure everyone here knows how I view this lovely disease by now so I’ll skip to my issue...
My mom is extremely religious and is one of those people who thinks this life doesn’t matter because all that matters is eternal life.
Well I am a hardcore atheist so I have a very hard time dealing with her telling me it shouldn’t matter if I have to spend 20 years blind or in a wheelchair or even 100 % paralyzed on a respirator because all that matters is eternal life.
I cant deal with this anymore. I don’t believe In the after life so I’m more concerned about my life now.
And apparently me saying I wouldn’t want to be kept alive by a machine for 20 years meant she was going to “talk to my dad about getting me help”..,
thankfully she has no legal power over me. My boyfriend is my medical power of attorney and my dad is number two (and my dad thinks she’s kinda crazy sometimes)
I love her and I don’t want to cut her out of my life, but she has to accept that my life is the way it is and I’m never going to shout from the rooftops about this and I’m never going to be the same person I was 14 months ago.
Sorry for the complaining... it’s just every time I think I might be at least accomplishing some of my goals and can be happy about that at least she always has to ruin it.
