I'm really having trouble with my mom. She's been diagnosed with a variety of things including Manic-depression and OCD, but the idea I think is that they really aren't sure, but medication seems to stop the delusional episodes. The medication has been badly effecting her memory and she has started making up lies about things I have said or done and is now accusing me of completely irrational things like she used to. Her parents made her the excuse for all of their problems and she has always tried to do that with me. In the past, it was very obvious that she was making things up so my father would take my side. The results of this were still very bad, and I have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of some of our interactions. I recently moved back in with my parents because I am a college student and lately she's been getting worse and worse, but this time my father refuses to take a side or often sides with her, even when her accusations are not physically possible. I'm getting so frustrated and upset. Today when I called the dog to play with me she turned this in to an attack and I'm starting to have flashbacks to the things that happened when I was younger. I'm so afraid of what my life is turning into, but I'm also so close to being done school I just can't seem to win. Advice welcome..

Katie.
