My Mom is turning on me. Any advice?

My mom is very ill and is in the hospital. She's dry heaving and doesn't want to eat. Today she asked me to bring her a beer in the hospital. I told her no because I can't bring alcohol to a hospital. She called me a b*tch and told me never to come back again. This hurt me to my core. We are best friends our entire lives. I can't take a beer to a hospital right? She's very pleasant to the hospital staff but is becoming very mean to me. She never was like this to me unless we had a huge argument. Any insight would be helpful.

I certainly had beer when i was in the hospital having babies! Ask her docyor, it may be perfectly acceptsble.

It sounds like your Mom is feeling so bad that she feels the need to lash out at someone, and you're a safe target. She knows you won't retaliate or stop loving her. Try not to take it to heart.

As far as the beer, or anything else she may ask for, tell her you'll ask the nurse/doctor if she can have it. The professionals can then be the bad guys if the answer is no.
