Gaslit By My Mom Chapter 10
Mom's attending physician found me and asked whether we wanted to proceed with surgery. If we did, we'd need to prepare at least 15 grand.Mom's condition could also be managed conservatively. It depended on what the family chose.Something this serious wasn't my decision to make.I told the doctor to ask Mom directly."Why are you even asking? Of course I want the surgery!" Mom exclaimed without even thinking about it."There are risks to surgery. I think the conservative treatment is better. Honestly, this illness was probably caused by all those supplements you kept taking. If you'd stopped taking them, you'd probably have been fine," I said."Didn't you hear what the doctor said? I can have a full recovery with the surgery! If I don't do it, it'll relapse!" The moment her own life was involved, she refused to back down even an inch."But surgery has risks too. What if you hemorrhage and die on the operating table? Conservative treatment sounds safer to me."And who told you

I boarded the plane at the very last minute and left this city behind.During the flight, I drank several cups of coffee. I forced myself to stay awake long enough to finish the business negotiations.My supervisor was extremely satisfied and offered me the promotion, but I turned it down.At that point, I no longer wanted to stay in that city.I wanted to get away from Mom completely. I would go far away and sever the invisible cord still tying us together.Only then could I finally have a better life.Coincidentally, the company had an assignment opening in another city that would last several years. Most of my coworkers were already married or settled down and couldn't accept the transfer,so I volunteered. My supervisor agreed immediately.I found a new apartment in the new city. I had new coworkers and new friends.In the beginning, Mom still tried to contact me. She begged me to go home. After I blocked her, she got relatives to contact me instead, so I changed my phone nu

For once, Mom wasn't making a scene, and my mood improved quite a bit. I took the glass of milk from her and drank it in one go. That night, I slept incredibly well.At some point, something started to feel wrong in my sleep. I could hear my alarm blaring nonstop next to me, but my eyelids felt glued shut. I just couldn't open my eyes.This business trip was very important to me. I had to get up.Through sheer willpower, I finally managed to open my eyes. I glanced at my phone and saw the time. I actually woke up thirty minutes later than I had planned.There was no time for breakfast anymore. I had to leave for the airport immediately.But the second I got out of bed, my entire body felt weak. It was as if I might collapse at any moment.Trying to wake myself up, I quickly made a cup of coffee, but it didn't help at all.With no time to think about it, I grabbed my suitcase and headed for the door, only for Mom to block the entrance."Look how exhausted you are. Where do you t

I turned around just in time to see a car speeding toward Mom. The screech of brakes ripped echoed through the air. I froze on the spot, and my mind went blank.Thankfully, the driver reacted quickly and spun the wheel hard. He managed to steer the car away from her.Mom collapsed onto the ground. The driver jumped out of the car and pointed at her furiously."Are you insane, old lady? Even if you have a death wish, don't drag me into it!""Ouch! My leg hurts so bad! You need to compensate me!" Mom reached for her leg and started shouting.The driver looked furious. "What the hell is wrong with you? You're the one trying to scam me, and now you want my money? I'm calling the police. Let them deal with this!"The second she heard he was going to call the police, she panicked. She knew perfectly well that she was the one at fault. If the police came, she wouldn't gain anything from it."Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you. Just leave."Shanice, hurry up and call an ambula

Back then, every time she brought up my dad, I would immediately soften.When I was in sixth grade, my father died in a car accident. According to Mom, he had gone out driving late at night while exhausted and crashed.A few years later, some relatives and family friends felt sorry for her living alone and tried introducing her to new men. She turned all of them down.Her reason was always the same. "I still have a daughter to raise. I'm happy as long as I can raise her."At first, hearing those words moved me deeply. But the second we got home, she would start sighing dramatically."It's all because of you. People introduced me to rich men with luxury cars, and I turned them all down. If it weren't for you, I would've been living a good life by now."Hearing that as a child shook me to my core. I was terrified. The guilt nearly crushed me. All I could do was study hard and hope that one day I could give Mom a better life.Now that I think about it, those words were just another

The relatives all turned to look in our direction. I froze for several seconds before finally snapping back to reality and grabbing clothes to cover myself."Mom, are you insane? I was changing! There are men outside!"No matter how good of a temper I had, I couldn't possibly tolerate this. I broke down and started screaming."Oh, you were changing? You should've said so earlier. How was I supposed to know?"Why are you making such a big deal out of it? They're relatives. So what if they saw you? It's not like you stand to lose anything."I stormed forward and pushed her out of the room. "Evonne Ziegler, I finally understand now. You're sick in the head!"This time, I directly called her by her full name before slamming the door and locking it."Hey! Shanice Xander, how dare you insult your mother? Open this door right now and apologize to her!" Jack shouted as he ran forward and pounded hard on the door. The rest of the relatives soon joined in. They were kicking and slamming a
