That is really scary reading your post, I think we all dread going home a little bit sometimes but your case takes the biscuit. Have you ever had any professional advice on how to deal with your Mum? I would have no idea where to begin. Isn't that a version of Munchausen's syndrome where a parent uses their sick child to get attention? Your Mom sounds really unwell to be putting both you and her through this. I hope you and Will are going to be OK with the Christmas visits etc.
