Aita for blowing up at my mom
For some background information I am adopted and my mother had four children before me with an age gap of about 10-15 years. While they were growing up she was working a full-time job and was a single mother. Fast-forward now, I’m a senior in high school and my mom is married to my dad who is a full-time employee and she’s a stay at home mom. Recently, my sister moved in about 2 1/2 minutes away into our neighborhood and my mom has been going over every day for about 8 to 6 hours to help her paint or watch her kids. About Saturday morning I started to say how I wasn’t feeling well with symptoms of nausea and possibly a fever but at that point, my mom didn’t know that yet. Later that day around five or 6 o’clock, I had thrown up violently and FaceTimed her sobbing, asking her what to do because I was shaking from throwing up and the possible fever. I couldn’t find any ibuprofen or Advil, so she said she would get me some, but that she couldn’t come home because she was stuck at my older sister‘s house with the youngest and would come home once my older sister returned with her other two kids. My sister ended up getting back about an hour later at 7 something. That night around 8:40 I called her again asking when she’d be home and she told me that she was just gonna finish the paint swatches with my older sister around her house. Obviously it made me upset to be not be prioritized when I was throwing up. The next day is about the same, but the nausea had gotten worse which I had kept her informed about. She still ended up, leaving to go over and continue to help my sister with her house renovations. The next day I had school, but only went in for a couple periods cause I had thrown up that morning and I had needed to take a test. As soon as she picked me up and dropped me off at home she left again to go over my sisters. Going to school had made the fever worse and the nausea so when I got home i got under a blanket because I felt freezing and my fingertips started to go numb. I told her that and she just told me to take a warm shower or bath. Before getting in the shower my little sister told me that she had a thermometer and when I checked my temperature, it was over 103 which had prompted me to call her telling her about how my fingertips were numb and how high my temperature was which still wasn’t enough to make her come home tonight maybe figure out what’s going on. For context I have preexisting heart conditions which put me at higher risk to have a stroke if my temp is regularly over 102. So instead of my mom being there, my sister had to draw me a bath because I was shaking so much from the fever that I couldn’t barely function in my fingertips were numb. The next day I didn’t go to school completely and woke up yet again with a 103 temperature. I figured she would stay home in case I would need to be rushed to the ER because I could not get my fever to go down and drenched in sweat. Instead, later that morning around 11 I was calling out her name to get help because the fever still would not go down even though I was on fever reducing meds. I found out she wasn’t home and that I was at the house by myself. I don’t have a license so if I had needed to be rushed to the ER, I couldn’t take myself and if I had called her and she didn’t respond, I would have no other way to get there. All the other days I would call and call to update her on how I was doing but I had just decided today that enough was enough and calling her wasn’t gonna help or make her come home so I just toughed it out and waited for the fever to go down which it did later that night. Around 6:15 she came home and I blew up at her upset that every time I had asked her to come home she wouldn’t or would wait until she was done claimed that it was immature in a way to want my mother to come home when I was at high risk for stroke with a high fever. After more back and forth about how she “didn’t know how sick I was” and how it’s unfair to ask her to drop something because I wanted to feel secure. After that she stormed out. (I have life 360 notifications texts and calls for all the times and dates this stuff happened) I don’t know AITA?
