My Mom said I only faked and Asthma is not a real illness.

Can you fake asthma. When I was a kid my mother who was a heavy smoker accused me of faking severe asthma, and I suffered so terribly. I know there were occasions when she very reluctantly brought me to the hospital and I remember being in a oxygen tent .That was the only times I was treated and someone should have explained it to her. I would get yelled at anytime I had problems breathing toher was all fake. I believed she wanted me to suffer and die. I grew up and tried to confront her but she denied me and said again it was all just for attention and we both got angry. I am 59 yrs old and my asthma only happens usually after an emotional upset now. But I still suffer from the lack of caring from my mother for what I think is unexcusable
