Abandoned when Unwell
I wanted to keep this to myself. But I am too hurt that I give a damn about publicising it.
This happened over this recent week till now.
Review
Past 1 week i've been down with some bug. from flu to gastric flu.
Saw doctor then last night been suffering with gastric-heartburn hiccups.
Damn scary. couldn't sleep much have booked doc appt
6 x last night i threw up along with bad stools while feeling heartburn.
I don't have a supportive family (folks).
I thought they will emphasize....but instead (as below)

Wed 26 Aug
Woke up this morning really tired .... and my family (folks) instead of caring to listen .. insisting to take flu medicines....refusing to accept a 'gastric cough' and more concerned about it being passed to them!
My mom insisting its asthmatic (when my lungs are clear and there been no fever at all)
My dad with his own strong flu and refusing to see the doctor himself ... yet can demand I see the doctor and tell doc that: i've fever, cough, cold and stomach flu to get all the medicines

Wed Evening:
"Mom asks what's happening to you? And as I began telling she says "Not asking for your opinion, What the doctor said is happening? no need to give your own theory!"
This bit hurt me most. They are in 70s.

Dinner (wed)
I wanting to eat alone.
They making a big deal
Dinner: oats bowl
Dad: "So sick, don't know to be humble and thank us for cooking for him. No smile, only grouch face. He gets sick his problem!"
It's hard to eat oats
Had to poop: watery
Then mom sits across me demanding i finish the oats. Insisting it's better i finish the oats and vomit, than eat less than half the bowl, and keep stomach empty!
Ofc i refuse.
Dad gets angry telling mom that: "if he wants to starve it's not your problem. If he wants to give so much trouble and be so immature to not even manage myself!
Mom then comments "not earning anything, still giving us trouble with sickness. You've no fever. Than why acting sick and making a big deal? If Now you already so week, You suffer when you reach our age, thankfully we won't around to witness. But until we are alive stop torturing us ok??!

Thu 27 Aug early AM.
This night i slept throughout, only getting up twice to burp and use the loo. Still took my antacid syrup. So am guessing its getting better.
It's dawning on me at 3.45am at how much my own parents despise me. (no siblings)
I don't know why. I am not looking for their validation, but still why eludes me.

😔💛
I wanted to check in and say I care and hope you are feeling better 💛

Thank you.
Last night had another scare of gastritis that choked while i was sleeping. Almost in tears not knowing if i should take a med or water or not.
Fortunately after about 2 hours things had calmed enough for antacid and then water and more water to make me feel a lot better.
Feel much better and cooled this morning as I woke up.
For 1st time in a week feel much better.
Your message is so valuable.
@Applehorse
A pleasure 💜
