My mom never worries about herself and is often stubborn in doing anything for herself. (She's in her 40s). Often worried about/caring for those sick in our family, she usually neglects herself in not buying anything new for herself (ie. clothes, makeup), eating healthy (even though she always cooks for us) or going to the doctor, because she knows that she isn't well and that going to seek medical assistance (for really bad migranes, severe varicose veins, for example) will probably lead to time away for caring for her family. Due to the fact that our family is on a strict budget and my mom always holds the family together (so that if she wasn't here...that would not be good), I feel helpless. With all of the obstacles she overcame in her life and at the rate she's going now, I feel like she's aged to much for someone her age. How can I help my mom before she gets really sick?
