I think you would be helped by being told more clearly what is happening. I of course do not know, but you should. Is there someone else in that office that you know that would give you some time to tell you exactly what is happening to your mom. You might begin by telling her that you are extremely stressed and need a little help understanding what is going on with your mom.
