I've rquested prayer about my situation on several occasions, but my mom is just getting worse. One of the symptoms of her mental health issue is that she demands constant attention. She's very loud & boisterous with it. For the past year or so, I've had to wait until she goes to sleep before I can go to bed. She goes to bed @ 5am & sleeps until noon, which is fine b/c that gives me a few hours to do chores, etc. The problem is that she expects me to wake up by 8am. This last week I've been really tired & I've also had a lot of illness the last few months & am having difficulty recovering. The last few nights I've had to go to bed before my mom. I'll sleep for 2 hours, then she stands outside my door singing silly made up songs, asking stupid questions, or yelling nonsense words to wake me up. I have now been awake almost 24 hours & I'm feeling really bad. If I complain she gets angry & yells @ me about something totally unrelated. I need prayer so that God will help me get out of this situation b/c it's affecting my physical & emotional health & I'm starting to be cranky. I'm actually an easygoing person, but this is making me act different b/c I'm so tired. A friend suggested that I stay w/ her family, but my mom won't allow it & I'm 37. I'm also being told that I should try to pursue a relationship w/ a man I've been interested in for years & hopefully that will lead to marriage, etc., but my mom won't even let me date. My dad is starting to get agitated w/ me b/c I can't get my mom settled down @ night & he has to get up early. I'm sorry about the long request, but I can't take anymore. I cry a lot now & stay upset.
