My mom hopes I die before she does.

Hi yall,
I am sad because my mom told me that she has prayed that I die before she does because she thinks it would be easier for me and the family than me outliving them. What kind of mother prays that their own child dies before they do? I hope her prayers are not answered. I may never give her another Mother's Day Present again.

Yeah, I mean I know she might think she means well by saying that (like if they fear for your wellbeing after they're gone), but I still think it's a bit of an odd thing for a mother to say. You often hear of mothers putting their own lives at risk to save their children's lives, and the most heartbreaking thing for a mother to experience is losing her child or children.

My mother died from cancer. She knew her children had emotional problems and hated to think how we would cope without her being around, but even so, I bet she still preferred she was going first before us. If a mother is that worried about leaving her child (even though grown-up) to survive in a world without her if they are disabled or whatever, then surely she'd be helping to sort out a plan for their future, not be wishing or hoping that they'll just die before she does.

Yeah that's a very bizarre thing to say to your child

Maybe she does have anxiety about how you will manage without her when she's dead but I think she crossed some kind of line when she said that to you

I'm so sorry man. That really sucks and you're right to feel angry and hurt by this

Bloody mothers!

Well now, Do you have any idea "why would she might say such a thing .?" Alz heimers or dementia ? sorry to ask .
Secretly on drugs of somekind. It is a most curious thing to hear out of a mothers mouth .?

I'd understand if she had Alzheimer's or something like that, as people with that don't always know any better.

she does not have Alzheimers or Dementia...

That was a horrible thing of your mum to say to you.

In the esrleir days upon hearing that someones mom has said such a thing, the Phrase ' Cold Ethyl' might be said outloud.
