I'm still young. Like, I'm just to the age where boys are becoming the big accessory, everyone is talking about everyone else, the coffee shop is The Place, but we can't yet drive. Much too young to lose my mom.
She's been going blind for a while I guess, and they think it's MS, but they can't detect anything other then her blind-ness. She also has high BP, chemical depression, and has had random hemroging of the brain that they couldn't fix [it worked itself out].
Now, you see, I'm too young to lose my mom, and I can't stand my dad [he doesn't have custody anyway] and I've grown up with her.
How do I deal with this? Her mom died on Christmas day eight or ten years ago now and I just don't know what to do about it.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom. sad But my best advice to you is to spend as much time as you can with her, let her know you love her and make the best of the time you have with her now. Pray for her, love her. I lost someone I loved very much almost a year ago, but it was instantly in an accident. No one is promised a tomorrow and we all have our time to go. My prayers are with you and her. I pray that she gets better so that she may be with you for many more years hon.. Keep your chin up and I hope everything works out for you. May God bless you and your Mom.

There is no way you could be prepared for that even if you try. I'm sorry this is happening to you. It's going to be extremely hard. Try getting support from the people you love, also be there for your mom..she really needs you right now and im sure that you will be ok. but i repeat this won't be easy.

*hugs DvnT* I'm sorry.
Try to spend the most time with her. Cherish each moments. I know she isn't going to die but be prepared for the worst. Be there when your mom falls. She'll look up to you. No one else. She loves you so you should support her with every ounce you got. =)
I'll pray for your mom. She'll be alright.

This might sound either sappy or like a jerk, but show her that her time with you was not wasted. Don't let her leave sad. Instead let her enjoy the fact that she has bettered your life. And trust me, it isn't always as grave as it might seem. My mother nearly died when I was six and the doctors didn't know what was wrong. That just goes to show, if you truly care for something, then fate will give you the time you need.

UPDATE:
The doctors had to take her off of the Chemo they had started because it was trashing her Liver. She's been off for a few weeks and their going to try and put her back on, but this is the last thing they can try.
They have her on a million meds. including the Steriods and the Chemo because of all the problems' she has.
She got married recently, and I really like my step-dad [so much, in fact, that I call him my NewDaddy], even though it's a bit of a change. So I won't lose every thing if she dies.

Sorry to hear that....The best advice I could give is to,well, treasure the present and don't dread too much about the future.I'm sure your mother doesn't want what's happening to her make you sad,she loves you, keep strong and always make her proud of you.

I solemnly swear I am up to no good.
First, I'd say try to prepare yourself, just in case. Think positive,
maybe the docs will have a breakthrough. It'd be hard to loose
your mom, but things happen. You probably wouldn't have to go
with your dad. There'd be a court case, and if you were strongly
opposed to it, they should legally find somebody else. Try to
spend time with her, by happy. Maybe don't think about it.
No matter what happens, it'll work out in the end.
Mischief managed.

They put her back on the Chemo. today. Well, it was about ten last night anyway. I feel just awful, you have to be quiet around her, and her stomach is aching. All she did today was lay on the couch, saying she was alright. She puked twice.
Tomarrow, she says, will hurt worse then today. But she says she'll build a tolorance to the pain after a few days or a week or so. Still, I feel awful I can't help her.
We talk alot, but we are so similar that it gets annoying to be with each other after an hour or so.
This is awful, seeing her like this. All I want to do recently is cry, no matter how strong she seems. Sometimes, I see how she really feels. Out of the corner of my eye when she thinks I'm not looking. I still see she's hurting.
There is nothing that I do all day but be strong. I don't whine about just about any thing, ever, and I never have. I've always been strong, and the only way to make my cry is to get my mom. Recently, just to pretend she's alot happier then she is and to keep my from breaking down, I play Mary Poppins. She can sound just like her and my mom and I both like watching the movie.
Thanks, everyone, for at least helping me. Staying with me through this.
