So my mom pitched a fit last night over a discussion I opened (we were in the hospital visiting dad - H was with me) regarding some steps she's taking/not taking in some of the legal stuff. She took it as me attacking her. Dad was really clear headed and he got involved in the conversation as did H. She totally flipped out, got all defensive, and stormed out without saying good-bye to any of us.
H and I were invited (as were mom and dad) to my cousin's house for T-day. We accepted months ago. When Dad took the downturn we decided to do T-day at my parents' house, just the 4of us. Mom said she would tell Cousin. Apparently she didn't because I got an email (as did Mom) about what time to be at my cousin's house.
With Mom's temper tantrum I don't know what to do. Do I call Cousin and say, "Hey it's up in the air I'll have to let you know Wednesday night" or do I say, "Here's the situation, we're going to my parents' because of x,y, and z." Do I risk doing that and then ending up not having T-day at all?
I'm annoyed as all hell with my mother. I understand the stress she's under. I'm under it too. I was merely asking if she explored all avenues with this situation since it's highly time sensitive and her appt with this new lawyer isn't until Dec 1.
