Has anyone one had a bad experience with your doctor. My original Psychiatrist retired about four [View all]

months ago. The Mental Health office changed ownership, I was given a psych nurse practitioner to fill my med. Last month I saw her by video conference for 15 minutes and her phone went dead twice. Today I had an appointment and she texted me --no call on the wrong phone. I don't think she knows what the hell she's doing. I would see my psychiatrist for 35 minutes. I guess this new place is cutting corners. Anyway, I am terribly depressed. Found out two weeks ago my sister has cancer in uterus, colon and pancreas, Mother, dearest, answers all calls going in the home. I suggested that my sister see a counselor. Mother got pissed. When my sister found out about the multiple cancers, she told my sister--didn't you realize you looked pregnant and had a fat ass. Since my sister is still working at a nursing home, I suggested that she wear a mask for her own protection. I feel absolute hatred toward my mother. Sister lives at home. for 61 years. When I said about the counselor, she said she can talk to my mother. Which leads me back to my doctor. I really needed someone to talk to. not just my husband. I have now come to terms with my sister being so much under the psychotic spell of my mother that she will be the little girl that lets my mother call the shots-and there is absolutely I can do about these uneducated people. I had posted early on the here about the physical, mental and sexual abuse of my parents. My mother is not trained to talk to my sister. My mother is mentally ill and dare I say evil. My heart breaks for my sister.
