What happens when the moment you choose yourself… your mother suddenly gets sick?In this episode of ReMothered, Lori tells the story of the phone call that changed everything — the biopsy that returned “positive,” the instant switch into caretaker mode, and the decision to walk away from a dream opportunity in Vancouver to return home.But as casseroles piled up and prayers rolled in, something didn’t add up.The Diagnosis is an exploration of emotional manipulation disguised as illness, the duty trap of enmeshment, and the quiet instincts that whisper when something isn’t right — even when love tells you to ignore them.This episode asks one haunting question: What kind of mother builds a lie so big her child gives up her life for it?If you’ve ever wrestled with loyalty, guilt, or the cost of constantly putting someone else first, this story may feel uncomfortably familiar.You’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it.
