Good morning,
I have been pretty much estranged from all of my family for close to 20 years having had particularly awful relationship with my mother. I tried to resolve the relationship issues I had with my mother for many years but in the end I had to let it go because all I did was hurt myself in the hope that things would get resolved but they never did. Over 50 years ago I came to Australia as a newborn baby with my parents and two older siblings. Fast forward to the present and I need to prove that I'm an Australian citizen to secure a government job. I became an Australian citizen under my father because I was under 15 at the time. My father has full blown dementia and is in care 24/7. My mother is 90 and lives in assisted care but there's nothing wrong with her health wise and she lives an independent life. My mother has the citizenship papers I need but any attempt to get a copy of these papers from her has been thwarted and she just won't give me a copy. My son, who she has a good relationship with has tried at least 3 times and the carers at the facility that she lives in have also tried to no avail. I have become quite distressed as I pretty much need this job to survive. She's been told that.
