Is it normal that i kinda wished my mum had cancer so i could get sympathy?
My mother was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago and I'm pretty stressed about the whole thing. I love her so much and I'm scared she might die. Which makes me even more guilty! In the beginning we thought it was just a cyst, so I had thought to myself one day "I kinda wish it was cancer so I could get sympathy from people."
I've always kinda loved disasters in my family and arguments. They make me feel alive and it gives me stories to tell and dunno, I just like being stressed and in the heat of a moment. So this thought was for that, so I could go to school and say "Hey my mum has cancer" etc and get sympathy and have people get upset and inquire about me because they usually never do that.
I also feel guilty because one day during a fight I thought "I wish it is cancer and you die and go to hell!". Horrible I know... This was all before I knew it was cancer and now I feel very guilty like it's all my fault. I know it isn't, but still. I love my mum and don't feel like capitalizing on her misery, so it's weird that I thought these things... Please submit a comment. I just feel very guilty.
