Obviously I don't or I wouldn't be here but I'm so frustrated and exhausted that I do feel like I hate her most days.
I'm so tired of the verbal abuse and the constant needs that are never enough. I'm the only one left that will deAL with her and I don't think I can take much more. She was arrested for pepper spraying her neighbor (who she thought was sleeping with her exboyfriend) and they sent her to the hospital but she pretended to be better so she could get out. I had to pay out over 1500 to get her in a new place since she was evicted from public housing for the incident with the neighbor. Of course she thanks me and goes on and on about how guilty she feels for me providing for her yet turn around and scream at me and call me stupid. She has no income. No insurance. No disability. Completly dependant on me and I'm so tired. She threatens to kill herself all the time. At this point, it's horrible to say, but it would be a relief. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has thought this. |

Welcome to Psych Central!
  it certainly sounds VERY stressful. and if its any relief, you're not the only one who ive heard say that. but she really needs to get help at the same time... if theres a chance, one option may be to enforce that she gets help, and doesnt pretend to be the "good patient", or the aid for her houseing, and everything else will be stopped(kind of like whats done in an intervention). also, is respite care something that could be do-able? that can provide a great temporary relief too.

The only help she can get would be to go to a state hospital and that's just something she's not going to do. In her mind she's wayyyy too good for that. She's experienced the nice, posh hospitals when she had insurance and anything else is beneath her.
Respite care? No one would dare be around her right now. She is explosive, angry, and extremely irritable. I guess I need to go check into one myself for being so codependent. Lol Where is the balance in taking care of my sick mother and not putting up with abuse? |
