Default My mothers legaly blind... what do i do :s

Hey guys, well yeah as the topic says I found out thismorning that my mum is legally blind... rather depressing, i actually broke down when I heard at work... So yeah what exactly does it mean hardly any vision I know that... but how is the quality of life going to be, It really upsets me when I think about it, because she's only 50, going on 51 late this year so still not really that old...

I'm allready tempted to packup my stuff and move back to mount gambier (I live in adelaide which is approx 450km from mt gambier) and help her out, which is the moral thing to do, because I don't have any tie down up in adelaide...

Stuff like this makes me question things like relgion?karma? does it exist, why should a 50yo woman have this drawn apon her, since she was 22yo she had been a fulltime single mother, raise myslelf and my two older sister - (who are 30 and 22 I'm 19) and done all that by herself on government handouts, only just struggling to make ends meet, only just being able to put food on the table each night... she hasne't been able to work as she left the work force when my eldest sister was born... she has been going volunteer work since I was 16ish...

I know it makes me sound like a whimp, but i find it rather upsetting because I want her to see my grow into a man, get married and have kids, buy a house.. and i it seems as if it's been cut short... i know I should be atleast happy that she's a alive, but I sorta think would she want to be alive facting the music the ming be blind before shes 55 :s...

I know this don't make much sense but yeah sorry for the ranting on guys i'm just really cut up and confussed
