Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

So then during one of my many trips to the loo, my mom phoned and talked to my boyfriend. She said she had to phone because she didn't know how she was going to get home.
I don't understand!
She made me agree to come, I ended the conversation with, "Okay, I will see you down there then (leaving at 3, like she told me to)" and then she calls as if I have just left her stranded there!

What you guys said all makes so much sense, it really does.. it is the same thing Adrian has been saying to me but I just can't NOT go.
Adrian even told her on the phone that he might have to go alone and get her, and he said she was acting all confused and surprised.
Anyway, I am going to go. Adrian is going out to pick me up some immodium 'cause I don't have any (what happened to immodium, by the way?? It used to be so easy to just pop in and swallow, now they are chewable and even the ones you swallow are more awkward and awful? I hate the new ones!).
I will not go to the music festival, I will not go to the beach where there are no bathrooms. I WILL get lectured about it and questioned over and over again. "Are you sure? Are you sure?"
I just can't NOT do it. It's pathetic.

Oh, and she got down there when my Dad took her yesterday. He didn't want to stay the night, and came home while she stayed the night. She isn't impressed that he isn't going back today either.

The other thing is, I would feel differently if it was a once in a while thing but this is happening every week now. Every week she wants me to drive down there and back, and there is nothing to do there and I get hassled so much by everyone about what to eat, and what to wear (Seriously, if I don't wear shorts, it's like I am being very sinful).. everything. I was just there last week. But still, if I don't go, I am being a horrible grandaughter (it is my grandparent's cabin) and am selfish and.. aaaaah!!

Your guys' support means so much to me, I feel like everyone else is just coming at me from all sides and this is the only place I have to be honest and to feel understood. Thank you so much.
