My mom is sick, dad doesn't believe her and its taking a toll on my life

Question - (6 January 2016) 2 Answers - (Newest, 8 January 2016)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm 25 and my parent constantly fight. My mom has health problems in which doctors do not know what is wrong with her. Her body aches and she cannot stay away for very long. This has been going on for about 10 years.

Because doctors do not know what is wrong with her my dad constantly thinks she is making it up. He has never been loving towards my mom so this is expected. He tries to extract information from me that tries to prove that it's all in her head which makes me uncomfortable and takes away from my relationship with my dad.

I love my mom, it kills me to see her sick and know she is in a bad marriage. she does not want to get a divorce, she hates her job, she's sick all the time, and her husband thinks she's crazy.

i feel so extremely sad every time i leave her. i'm in college with an apartment i am paying for and friends i'd like to see. i'm so lost when it comes to leaving her. Its a constant worry on me and I don't know how to handle a mom who is emotionally and physically suffering while I am at school trying to figure out my life.

How do I keep a balance??

aunt honesty agony auntI feel for you sweetie I really do, it is tough juggling your own life and worrying about your mother, but you need to let that worry go. If your mum wanted to leave and get a better life for herself she could, but I think she is happy to stay in her life, she is set in her ways.

It would be a concern for me that she is in continuous pain for so long and nobody is getting to the bottom of it. Does she take any medication? Painkillers that could be maintaining this pain? She really does need to get a second opinion.
