Gosh. 25 years later and I still can feel guilty about how I treated my mother. And so will she in time. In fact, she may already feel guilty. She knows you're sick, she knows she should take it easy on you, but she can't. She's 15. And if she's a typical 15 year old she doesn't realize it's because she's 15. She goes back and forth between believing it's all your fault for being an awful, aggravating parent and all her fault for being a lousy, selfish daughter. With an extra dose of guilt because you're sick. So, with typical teen maturity, she acts like she doesn't care that you are sick. Or not. That's just one scenario and likely it' wrong.
Jane, still squirming with guilt
