be nicer to my mom

And I need to learn to not let what she says get to me because I know she has a mental health problem, and I just need to deal with the fact that my mom is negative and depressed all the time. She always tells me, “This is a disease.” and I get mad at her and tell her cancer is a disease, not being an emotional twelve-year-old spoiled brat in a grown woman’s body! I always hold her attitude against her, and everything she says pisses me off because it is such a sign of how far off the deep end she has gone with the bipolar craziness. I need to forgive her for not being the mother I felt like I needed. We can’t always get what we want, but we get what we need. I guess I needed her, because I think everything happens for a reason. She’s my mom for a reason. I need to learn patience, and to forgive. Then I would treat her better. It’s so hard!
