My mom and grandmother have never gotten along. For a few months they'll get along and then all Hell breaks loose. My grandmother is bipolar. They are always concerned on this dumb car my grandmother gave my mom. She gave it to her a few years ago, but technically she still owns it, having it in her name and having the title.

She's taken this back many times and given it back. I think it's stupid and my mom shouldn't continue taking it back, but hey, it's her decision. We actually thought the car was stolen one day, and low and behold who has it? My grandmother.

My sister who is an adult lives with my g'ma. She's basically staying with her for money. This being, I think this is why she never sticks up for my mom (you'll get that later).

So when my g'ma went to the hospital last June, she promised my mom she'd pay her phone bill (we have had tremendous financial issues). My older sister called it in for her, and apparently, my g'ma "forgot" about it, and called the phone company saying she wasn't going to be responsible. She's always done this kind of thing.

My sister lied and wont take up for my mom, saying it never happened, when she was the one who called it in. My grandmother claims she took it back to get new furniture. Her furniture is fine.

So to get to the point of the title, it's getting unbearable. After everything my g'ma has put my mom through, it's not only stressing her out, it's stressing ME out. I'm SICK OF IT. She's either really depressed-pathetic looking in her room or really pissed off at everything, usually getting mad over the itsy-est things, and going on an all out rage.

I'm so tired of all this, of my mom, grandma, myself. I have my own stress at school. I don't need this

HELP ME.
Frankz,
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with these games going on all the time. You have a ring-side seat for some of the manipulative, childish behaviors that can go on between family members and believe it or not, they even go on in famililies that don't have mental illness among its members.

I know it's really hard to ignore this kind of stuff going on around you all the time but the more of it that you can ignore, the better. I get it that it's difficult especially when you are right there and have to interact with them. And it's your mom. I'm not sure what your age is.

Do you have someone that you can talk to about these things? It would be really important for you to have close friends that you can confide in. Do you have a support system? Of course, keep posting here. We always care about what's going on with you.

Do you get exercise? It is a really good way to work off the stress you experience. Running or biking is good. Something that gets your heart rate up and releases endorphins that help you feel better. This will help you feel better and is much better than anything else you can do to release the stress. Meditation is good, too.

Please keep posting.
