Why do they love being sick so much?

Just needing a sounding board.

My mum (undiagnosed borderline) just rang me to tell me she is being tested for possible breast and bowel cancer. I would be more reactionary if this isn’t a story that comes up every few months.

When she told me I was logical and calm and said well that’s good they are sending you in for extra testing, if you need me to come over I will come over now. I didn’t get emotional and she then just said to me your are so cold hearted and hung up on me.

I used to get emotional about these things but the list of illnesses she has claimed on herself and others which have turned out to be false is huge. So I don’t react anymore untilI I see concrete facts.

Her bowel issues are also self inflicted. She drinks and smokes daily with no exercise and the illness she has can be cured by stopping drinking and smoking. So I have run out of sympathy.

But her calling me cold hearted has really upset me and I don’t know why. Now I am second guessing myself.

Just needed to vent to people who understand
