(158 posts)No you can't control what others decide to do. I've decided I don't believe you are telling the truth. Your story changes and doesn't hang together, and that has happened in past threads as well.
If any part of what you say about your mom's suffering is true, and you refuse to take her to the ER, you are not being responsible, and the consequences could be very serious. But - now I think you added this injured wrist story to your general "venting" about needing to get some money because your kindhearted friends were giving you great advice but hadn't taken the hint about paying your TV bill.
Well, I hope that's the case. That is, I hope you are adding fictional details for sympathy. If urgent care really told you that your mom needed to go the ER and you took her back home instead, that's neglect. Someone else needs to step in and make sure she will be okay.
