Hi, people, I'm Stella. I'm 16 and I have a younger sister. Recently I had to go to drastic measures to protect her health from our crazy mom. She could have been injured or even disabled without my help. And I want to tell you everything. Not so long ago, there was a big change in our family. The reason for this change was the divorce of my parents. And now my sister and I were torn between our mom and dad. The fact is, after the divorce, they both had custody of us. So we spent one week with my dad and another week with my mom. It was hard to get used to, but over time, I even found a lot of advantages in it. My mom now lived in a different neighborhood, and I made a lot of new friends there. Plus, after the divorce, my mother decided to start a completely new life. But still, she had picked up a bad habit from her old life. The fact is that she was a very anxious person, and she constantly found problems where there were none. It was mostly about health. Whenever my sister or I sneezed, my mother would take us to the hospital immediately and we would get a full examination. Yes, I understand that this is just caring, but it was too much. I could fight back against my mother's quirks, plus my father used to restrain her impulses, but when we were at mom's house, her hands were completely untied.
The first time when I was really scared by my mother's actions was a few months ago. I came home from school and no one was there. It was a regular thing, because mom took Lily to dance class, and spent time with her afterward. But at the time when they usually got back, they were still absent. So I decided to call my mom, but she didn't pick up, and Lily's phone was off too. I thought that maybe they had stopped by the supermarket on the way home or maybe they just walked, but they didn't come back for a long time. I waited like Hachiko and didn't know what to do. Late that night, my mother finally called me and gave me the terrible news. Lily was in the hospital and she had been going through tests this whole time. I realized it was serious, so I got myself to the hospital as soon as possible. My mother was just crying, and could not even explain to me what had happened. Then the doctor finally came out and gave us good news. Lily was alright and we could go home. I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I found out what was going on, I was surprised by mom's strange behavior. It turned out that my sister had gotten dizzy in dance class, and she even fell a couple of times. When my mom saw it, she rushed her to the hospital, suspecting that she had a brain tumor or something. But this was stupid, because it was dancing! They're moving fast and spinning, damn it! And of course, it's normal that she could get dizzy from rapid movements! And mom scared the hell out of me with this stupid overreaction. She was a grown woman, and she could've figured out everything without all the drama! Ugh, that was tough. But at the end of the day, It was hard for me to be mad at her, considering what happened to me about 5 years ago.
That winter I was just having a snowball fight with friends in my hometown. Oh, it was a wonderful time! Flakes of snow, the laughter of friends, the smiles of parents. Everything was just fine, but I spent too much time outside and I caught a cold. I knew if my mom found out I wasn't feeling well, she would leave me at home and I wouldn't be able to have fun with my friends, so I hid my sniffles and pretended that everything was fine. I shouldn't have done it though, because after a couple of days I got worse. I got a fever, and I felt terribly weak. Other than that, I almost lost my voice because I had a sore throat and it hurt so bad. When my mother took me to the hospital, things were even worse. We started treatment immediately, but I lost too much time. I had Tonsillitis and it caused complications in my kidneys, and I had problems much worse than just a sore throat. Then the treatment took a lot of time and money, and my parents were terribly worried about me. My mother felt guilty for not looking after me, and from that moment she began to monitor our health very closely.
At the slightest suspicion of a cold, my mother took me to the doctor. I have to say, I've never been seriously ill since then. And when I did catch some flu, we could cure it very quickly, because we started treatment from the very first day. But there was a downside to this motherly concern. She would overreact. Once, I just twisted my leg, and I limped for a couple of days, but I felt just fine...
