Ever since I was a child my mother has had the worst health-related habits. The years of these habits are starting to show and I can't handle it anymore. Her body is riddled with preventable problems yet she doesn't care. Everything is slowly deteriorating and she doesn't want to do anything about it. From her teeth to her skin, to her bones, to everything else going on inside. She won't eat unless someone else brings her food and often won't eat at all unless it's junk food. She doesn't even drink water, only anything else that would quench her thirst. I had a mental breakdown once because this behaviour put her in the hospital before but even after that nothing has changed! Every time I try to get my point across she says that was ill-mannered and disobedient. What am I supposed to do then?
This has taken a toll on my mental health and I don't know what to do anymore. Her body is dying and I'm going to be forced to take care of her day and night because of it. At times shaytan gets into my head and says "she never took care of you so why would you take care of her?" (She wasn't there and my dad is out of the picture, I had a nanny). I don't know what to do. I'm so angry at her for being so careless that I yelled at her once and let slip that she's acting like a child. She's going to put me in a bad position in the future when she'll lack the ability to do anything on her own and she still expects me to fully obey all her demands. Please make dua for me. I'm trying to be patient for the sake of Allah but I just can't. Why doesn't she care what this does and is doing to me? What do I do?
P.S. I apologize for ranting I'm just so exhausted. No matter what I do I'm unheard. I feel so bad making this post but I'm tired of being a mother to my own mother. This is not how it's supposed to be.
