It was mum's birthday. I called her up to wish her many happy returns.
She started crying. My brother's family wouldn't be visiting that day and my brother can't get the day off to take my dad for his upcoming hospital appointment, so Mum would have to do it.
As a reminder: my parents are divorced, but my mum - due to living circumstances - is my dad's primary carer. Needless to say, she felt trapped. I remember what it was like when I was there: control freak mei, irritable, irrational and completely highly strung. It must be ten times worse for her.
She also has some health issues of her own to sort out.
I better start booking a flight to see them soon and give mum a well-deserved break.
