Sometimes we need to lower our pride.

My mother is in the hospital at the moment. She was sent there last Saturday because she's not feeling well again. My 3rd Brother gave him money last month for her monthly check up but she didn't go to the hospital instead she bought it clothes and other stuff. I remind her always that in order for her to be okay since she doesn't want to go with Dialysis, well apparently I got my problem with kidneys to her. That she needs to take her prescribed medicines. But she always tricked us, she said she always take her medicine and when we check it, her medicines did not move a little. And she always nags me, she told me one time I should not bother about her and mind my own business.
Now, our youngest Brother keeps calling me because she wants to have the treatment and she needs money to buy other stuff. She always demands and wants money. But we don't have money. She doesn't even have savings and I even remind her before that she need to sign for insurances in case an emergency happens but she didn't listen, instead, keep telling us that she will live and that she will not get sick.
Aside from being irresponsible, her pride is at it's highest peak.

We are having a hard time looking for a donor, I only have 1 brother to be her donor. Others don't have time and others don't want to donate. This is what she gets for her stubbornness and her issue. Her children to suffer.

I understand you as you know everything, my friend. After my session today, I went to her to check on her. She already has her emergency catheter on her neck, she wants to have the dialysis already but we need to produce 7 bags of blood for her transfusion.

Many people. But parents can be like that by not doing something but then telling you too.

I know that my Mother is also stubborn.
It is a different situation which is a very long story but I understand what you are saying here.
It is very unfair on you the children to have to worry about your Mother that refuses to take care.
I wish you well and the worry must be so terrible on you.

I have issues with my mother. If you happen to read my previous discussion you will know why as I don't want to go to details anymore. Yes, she does this. She sometimes doesn't appreciate the effort we are doing to make her feel better.

Maybe its better that someone accompany your mom when she goes to the doctor just to make sure. I hope she gets better and stop stressing you out too. Its not good for one's health.
