My father was accused of malingering at the ED on the day before he died, so people often get it wrong (professionals or family). He was seriously physically sick.
Malingering is when people think a person is faking or exaggerating illness usually to get out of work. Maybe that is what your mother thinks or maybe she does not realise.

Hopefully the antibiotics kick in tonight (will have been 24 hours then) and you'll wake up feeling a little better. Take care of yourself,

I understand how hard it can be about your mother @outlander and I agree with what other members have been saying
As an adult I often walked away from my mother for her bitter tongue and emotional cruelty - and I would stay away from my family for years at a time - sometimes up toward 10 years - and it was really hard because I loved my father but then - he made his choices too
You must care for yourself first - if you become seriously ill you won't be able to help your pop either - I guess you could tell him how tough things are for you right now and it would be okay to ask for his help
I can't see your mother changing soon - been through it - I'm glad she doesn't treat your little sisters in the same way but still - you are not their carer - she is - and she needs to get her act together - I doubt she will
Dec
Yes - it does seem as if the people in this Forum care more about you than your own mother
Sheesh
