Update on my mom and the "situation"

So, my mom is in a full-blown psychotic break. I’ve been talking about it here, a few times.

One of my brothers recently moved into my mom’s house, maybe 3 weeks ago. He was going to keep an eye on her, make sure she’s eating, make sure she’s safe, etc…

Well, my mom’s paranoia is way out of control. I just learned that last night, she accused my brother of stealing “her chair”. He kept saying he didn’t take it. But she started to get violent, so he ran to his room and locked the door.

My mom was banging on the door, screaming that she KNEW her chair was in his room. She eventually broke the door INTO PIECES!! She was threatening to kill my brother. He called the police.

But the police in that area are ■■■■■■■ useless. My brother fled to my other brother’s apartment and is staying there now. To be safe from my mom.

This is getting way out of control.

I recently called my mom a few times, before all of this, wanting to know what we’re doing for Mother’s Day. But she ignored all of my calls. I even texted, asking how she’s doing. No response.

But then she sends a random message, saying she thinks I’m just calling for money, making her pay for something I made for her, as a gift?! What?!?

Nothing makes sense. I’ve been having high anxiety. Popping my Clonazepam like crazy, just trying not to lose my own sanity, or what’s left of it. My hallucinations are so much worse lately. Seeing people everywhere, in my house, in stairwells, in the middle of the street. I hear people screaming for me, whenever I close a door. Freaks me out.

I might end up in the hospital before she does. This is just madness. I keep breaking down.

Can I give you a big hug?

I would be popping my prn like crazy too in such a situation.

Unfortunately due to past legislation there’s not a whole lot that police or the courts can do. If someone doesn’t want to take meds, it’s their right.

It’s totally bonkers of course.

Take care of yourself my friend. Try to destress in positive ways like your crafts, and lean on your husband and us for support.

You got this.

Well, it sounds like she’s a danger to herself and others. Can’t she be forced into the hospital for her own good?

I’m sorry your dealing with this but look after yourself. Stress is the biggest leveller to people like us so do the little things to keep you happy and going. I’m sorry your mum is struggling but keep on the authorities and do what you can…you can’t do more than that. Hugs.

Hope you can avoid relapse blossom. I’d say let your brothers and family deal with the situation and don’t get involved yourself. If you get sick you won’t be able to help her so, I’d focus on avoiding being triggered.

Must be a really tough time for you. :heart::heart::heart:

I’m sorry you have to deal with that much stress.

She sounds psychotic and aggressive. A dangerous combination.

I’m so sorry. Your heart must be breaking into a million pieces. Please seek out extra support like therapy or more therapy during this time if at all possible. It’s really important to take care of yourself while this is going on.

I think you need to get a court order to have her hospitalized you should call a Detective in the police force. Call the police and ask to talk to a detective.

Ask for how to get your mother hospitalized.

I love hugs, thank you. Yeah, I’m trying to keep my mind focused on other things, like crafts, but the anxiety is just so bad, it makes me just want to stare at a wall.

We’ve been trying. My dad, who is a lawyer, is actually putting a case together, to take her to court. And then, hopefully, they will force her to get help, going inpatient.

That’s what Hubby keeps saying. He wants me to not be involved. I :100:% understand, but this situation is still stressing me out so badly.

I just saw my therapist. He wants to see me weekly while this is going on. I agreed.

The police have already been called. They don’t care. They are terrible in the area she lives in. But as for court, my dad is putting a case together, to try and get her admitted to the hospital.

I’m happy you’re taking her to court. It sounds like she needs treatment even if it’s forced. It’s in her best interest as well.

It sounds like everything that can be done is being done so that’s really good. Keep us updated.
