something my addict mom said to me recently that had my mind blown and i have to share

my mom recently ended up in the hospital because she does not take care of herself. she asked me to go buy her a charger because she’s isolated herself from mostly everyone in her life. i was a little frustrated because i had plans i was already late for and had already bought her snacks and drinks like she asked, and she immediately got angry with my frustration and said —

“you’d better want to do things for me now, because one day i’ll be dead and you won’t be able to and you will regret not being there for me.”

i was appalled.

i obviously got angry and said something to the affect of “you do not get to hang your death over my head after everything you have put me through,” and then she said —

“well what about all the awful things you have done to me?”

???????!!!!!!!!! HUH

just had to share because i literally can’t say it out loud to anyone in my real life cause i am sort of embarrassed.

edit: i literally did get her the charger too like am i okay? lol like, damn walk away girl.
