Things at home have gotten worse for Mum and I. We are getting so tense that I decided to call the police. They came and told us to stay out of each other’s hair for a few hours. I know for the last few days I’ve been on the edge myself but had an emergency meeting with my support worker earlier today and am making arrangements to move out. Meanwhile, things that need repairing keep mounting up and she has failed to act appropriately. Still, the house is worth nothing, but she insists on staying. I am calm right now, but am thinking of calling the mobile crisis line, if worse comes to worst. I really think she needs professional help.
That’s sad that you and your mother are going through that. 
I wish it hadn’t come to this, but something’s got to give. Within about the last year, she’s really thrown things into more chaos. She really seems to be in both my brother’s and mine opinion codependent. Today is my birthday and am going to the activity centre to celebrate. This house was hardly ever a home, and I need a fresh start. My mother needs to realize that there’s more important things in life than a house, especially one that’s depressing to live in.

Mim, hi
just wanted to say so sorry to hear.
must be so difficult if the ill one is your mother. my mum is stable and has had 3 schizophrenic kids, - the reverse of your situation, it’s been her that has to be stable, at least that is the right way round in a way.
