both myself and my mother suffer serious mental illness.
I admit mine and go to Dr. She doesn't admit hers and says its all ME. I can not talk to her at this time..I"m not medicated at all..and she is hugely toxic. |

It really hard to deal with family mental health issues. I get treatment and take meds for bipolar. According to my family I'm lazy and taking the easy way out. My mom is alcoholic and blames it on her kids. I have 5 brothers and sisters and every one of them has MI and substance abuse problems. I don't know how old you are or if you live with your mother. So I don't know what to tell you about avoiding her. But it's absolutely NOT your fault she's mentally ill. You can not make her admit she has a problem or make her get help. The most important thing that you can do is take care of yourself and continue to get the help you need.

Do you live with her? Are you in a position to distance yourself from her? My suggestion is to take control of what you can; namely, the contact you have with her. Allow her into your life only under your own terms.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
