A pertinent question would be to ask, respectfully, how often you are in an ambulance, on your way to hospital, if you don't mind saying?

Also, what medical issues do you have? (Sorry, that was two questions, I know)

I have been in an ambulance once. It was because I hadn't eaten anything for 14 days. Every time I ate anything I was sick. I called 111 and they called an ambulance for me.

My daughter followed the ambulance and came to the hospital with me. I did appreciate her being there for me and I didn't know that she resented it.

Regarding the medical issues. I have stage 4 chronic kidney disease.

Just clarify for me so I can understand better - you once overdosed accidentally on prescription medicine, but your daughter is fed up with you calling her from an ambulance on your way to hospital.

So presumably you have called her more than once from an ambulance?

Apart from the one time mentioned above, why else have you been in an ambulance? How many times?

I assume as you were able to locate your phone and call your daughter these weren't emergency circumstances.

My daughter does appear to believe what my sister has told her.

Why do you think your daughter seems to believe your sister? It’s really all about you and your daughter isn’t it?

I am truly distraught over this.
My daughter came to see me yesterday, with some complaints. Some are justified. She is fed up with me calling her when I am in an ambulance on my way to hospital. She says I am 'crying wolf' when there is nothing much wrong with me.

She also said I was a 'drug addict ' and that I needed therapy.

I know that she has been talking to my sister, because my sister has previously called me a drug addict and said that I need therapy.

I am convinced that my daughter is only repeating what my sister has told her.

For context: I accidentally overdosed on a prescription medication. That does not make me a drug addict.

I am furious with my sister for messing up my relationship with my daughter.

I am tempted to call my sister and have it out with her.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
