i found my brother 2 weeks ago. i havent seen him in 15 years. my mother changed her name and dropped off the face of the earth around that time. she hates everyone, her family, me, people in general. she told my brother all these really horrible things about me. things that are not true, and these things have upset me terribly!! i think that she might be schitzophrenic, some of the things that she has said has never happened. she has always done this. when i was little she would tell me horrible things about my grandparents, her parents. when i finally got to meet them and spend time with them none of the things that she said were true. she says she hates her sister because she peed the bed until she was 13 and she had to sleep with her. this is the reason she gives for never speaking to her!! that is insane. i thought that time might have changed her, calmed her down, but it doesnt seem like it has. i even told my brother that i was sorry for anything that i may have done to make her mad at me, but she still wants nothing to do with me. im not going to try anymore. when people are really suspicious, always thinking people are talking abou them, think the whole world is out to get them, and they alienate themselves is that scitzophrenia or bipolar? i am so upset, i thought maybe we could have some kind of realationship, i need my mother but she is not well. she told my brother that she doesnt talk to me is because i put a gun to her head, omg this is so crazy!! i have been so, so upset after hearing that. i dont think i have even ever yelled at her. one time my grandparents had come into town to see her and she told them that she was fixing dinner and she couldnt open the door. she would do that sort of stuff all the time, anyone have any suggestions of what might be wrong with her?
