My mother is like a PD cluster**** with symptoms of NPD, BPD and AsPD all rolled into one. She is into her 50s now and only seems to be getting worse. And the worse she gets, the more my own BPD symptoms flare up because I currently live with her. I'm working my way towards independence after a period of homelessness, but it's a painfully slow process.

Normally though I can handle it. I'm used to it. There's always been the established roles, and I've been rolling with them for years. I'm the scapegoat, and my brother is the golden child. And my brother and I are very close.

My biological father and I were never, ever going to resolve anything, though, because he targeted my brother. And to me, that is unforgivable. I almost killed my father over it years ago. I haven't spoken to him in years, as well. He is dead to me, and I could care less if he literally drops dead tomorrow.

Well recently my mother got a big promotion, is traveling a lot and making tons of money. Her head has swollen to the size of a blimp, and her sadistic meddling streak has activated along with it. Suddenly she is better than everyone else, everyone else is a stupid loser, and it's her job to teach all the stupid peons lessons. And apparently this now includes my brother.

She's been going after him, trying to manipulate and shame him and trying to get him to break off his engagement to the love of his life. He confided in me, and we had a cathartic chat about it. I kept trying to assure him that our mother isn't right in the head and to just ignore her. She said some insane **** to him, just so arrogant and judgemental and over the top. She's making her move now because he works at the same company, and she is now in a position of great power, so she thinks she can go after him now. She only does this **** to him at work, and then reminds him that she's more powerful than he is.

I have faith in my brother. He's smart, level-headed, knows what he wants. But seeing and hearing him in distress like that just makes me want to tear her face off. My brother is off-limits. She can be however she wants to me, or to anyone else, and I can keep my jets fairly cool. But if she keeps trying to mess up his life and do power plays like that against him, I swear to ****. She thinks she's so crafty, calls herself the "master" when it comes to manipulating people. She thinks she has everyone on strings and that her golden child would never have the guts to tell anyone how she's behaving. She's such an arrogant idiot.

She was also bragging to him about how she makes so much money (she and her husband's incomes combined are over a quarter of a million dollars per year). He took HER out to dinner, and she say there bragging to him about how rich she is, and making passive-aggressive digs at his fiance. And when my brother tried to ask for help with his last semester of college (he's been paying for all of it himself), like $1,500 which is a drop in the bucket to her, she looked him point-blank in the eye and said she wasn't sure if she could afford it. (Btw, my brother's fiance's mother has been helping him over the past few years, while our mother has done all of jack **** to help him.)

She just likes to **** with people. And now she's ****ing with my brother. She gets a promotion and thinks she's a god. Thinks she controls everyone and that she can play with people like everyone is her barbie doll.

Not even my ****ing Zyprexa can stop the shitstorm that will explode in my head if she ruins his wedding.
