Be grateful that your mother cares about you. She won't always be there for you.
I think it is wrong to insinuate that he doesn't love or respect his mom because of his feelings and that just because she is his mom he is supposed to put his feelings aside and understand her. Isn't the parent supposed to be understanding of the child (sorry Neo couldn't think of the word) not to mention that HE is the one living this nightmare.
Maybe he could have asked her privately not to invade his space. My first gut reaction, when I saw his posts in CAPS, was what the hell is he yelling at his MOM in public for?
This is public, as much as you would like to think its private. I understand where he is coming from, but being the adult he says he is, I personally feel he could have handled his rejection of her being here, less harshly, and a lot less publically. And she did try to protect his anonymity, and her post was respectful..his was neither.
she uses the computer but is afraid she'll push the wrong button and it will blow up.
i understand how neo feels. its because now whenever he posts something he has to deal with the fact that his mother could be reading it. when you have to worry about how what you say might upset somone you love expressing yourself stops being theraputic, its just another stress... having to put on that happy face so the ppl who care about you dont worry too much
Your mom is your mom and remember, when she is gone, she is gone forever, you are only going to wish she was here getting in your business and trying to feed you chicken soup, geeze, that is what a mother is for. How sad that anyone would hold any grudges towards their mother for wanting to learn more of their childs illness, i could only wish my mom knew how to work a computer i would have her in here faster than lightning. I hope anyone who has bad feelings towards their mom or anyone else would learn that life is too short and we need to enjoy those while we have them.
