She showed up all strung out claiming that she’s been in the hospital for a week. She said she stabbed herself in the neck because she can’t see her kids. She had no wound. Later she said she overdosed on her Prazosin to try to kill herself and she was going to do it again if I didn’t help her see the kids right now. She was hysterical. I told her she was in no shape to see her kids and that she needed to clean up and pull herself together before she was around those babies. She went off on me denying the drug use. She repeatedly threatened to kill herself if I didn’t do something to help her so I called 911 to get an officer over here to help. She screamed “big mistake” and slammed the door so hard she broke it and went speeding off in her car. The police are looking for her to make sure she’s safe. I’ve done all I can do in my opinion. Letting her yell at me and tell me what a bad mother I am doesn’t do either on of us any good and her problems are over my head at this point.
You’re right, you’ve done all you can. It seems like she’s reaching that level of desperation where she tries everything under the sun before realising she’s hit rock bottom.
I know the feeling with my sister.
I’m sorry you’re having problems with your sister. Sometimes we have to just walk away. It’s hard because that’s my daughter, but she’s leaving me no choice really with the choices she’s making. I don’t know if that’s what it’s like with you and your sister but I’m sorry.
Thanks. I blocked her on my cellphone, but she has my email if she wants to write. She lives 1,020 miles away, so I don’t have to worry about her showing up on my doorstep. She married and has a husband and kids.
Sorry to hear she’s not doing well.
She can’t sustain this lifestyle much longer,
She’ll have to change soon.
She verbally beat me up, and I’m hoping I don’t hear from her again. I’m not going to contact her.
I’m sorry she treated you like that, I’m glad you’re not putting up with it.
@Leaf I’m so sorry that she did that. She clearly was on drugs, and you did the right thing by protecting your grandchildren from that trauma. They don’t need to see her like that.
I live in housing that’s just for single people and no kids under 18. You have to get permission for someone to visit you in advance, and they can only visit for a week.
It’s just studio apartments. It used to be a hotel. It’s rent subsidized with income limits.
You did the right thing, @Leaf and kept yourself together about it.
Thanks for saying that @PinCushion it was hard, it broke my heart, but I have to do it.
Sorry you have problems with your daughter. She sounds like she’s in a desperate situation. Or maybe her chemistry is, if she’s doing drugs.
