Living with a disabled mother

in support •  6 years ago 

My mother had a stroke when I was roughly two or three years old, due to a heroin overdose (she no longer uses) and a more than useless group of friends...
I find it difficult living day to day and remaining in contact with Mum. Being her only son its hard to constantly try and do my best for her, especially when our conversations can go from a calm, relaxed to a fiery argument within seconds...
All that I know about a 'stroke' is from experience, I've never researched on it simply because I am supporting someone who has lived through it.
At the time of the stroke she lost all movement in the right side of her body, which Im fairly sure means that the left side of the brain shut down completely. Over time she has had to learn to walk, talk and think all for herself, again.
The shutting down brain part I cant always wrap my head around, more often than not I lose my temper or get extremely hurt over small things that she says to me, simply cause she hasn't thought it through thoroughly and may not be able to foresee the consequences.
Often we talk about peace and the search for 'nirvana' but unless she has a big bag of weed or a whole lot of money, it is as if the rest of the world is out to get her.
Living with a stroke, to me, seems like one of the most painful struggles.
