I'm guilty of saying that one... but in my defense, when he runs out of his meds, Mr. Hyde takes over and next thing you know I'm swept away on a rollercoaster ride. If you don't know what it's like to live with someone who relies on medication for emotional stability, then you can't imagine how it affects the other people in the house. The criticism, the negativity, the apathy, the sullen responses... it makes me want to leave... but it's MY house. I shouldn't HAVE to leave! So, that's my motivation for being concerned if he has skipped his meds. Hope the perspective helps you not get so angry at your mom -- it affects her, too.
