I think my mom is using FOG even now during the pandemic. Some of her same tactics are starting to come up. For me, though I am becoming more afraid of even going to the grocery store for myself, and don't know how I'll find the courage to take her groceries. Someone on here talked about faith over fear.
We are seeing an increase of positives of Covid 19 in our immediate community/county.
I told her the other day I wouldn't be coming up that particular day and did she have enough food, and she said don't go to the store for me!!
She doesn't call me, just waits on me to call her. I'm starting to feel guilty about all of this.
I don't know what to do, other than keep staying home and out of harms way-so to speak.
I so relate to your problems with your mom, and wish somehow you could/would STOP ALL GUILT regarding her. I know it can be extremely hard, if it’s been conditioned into you since childhood. It’s time to stop letting her control you. Take care of yourself first.
I did finally take her groceries and then left as soon as I could. I wanted to get back home -the safety of my home-
She was appreciative and 'paid' me so that was nice. She knows I won't be back over for awhile.
Take care and stay home as much as possible.
