So during the family conference, it was decided that we should contact mental health services for my mom, because she forgets things, makes things up in their place to suit her needs/story, she has paranoia--as in if she can't find something in her own apartment, it automatically means someone broke in and stole it....even if it isn't valuable, and even if all the other valuables are in tact.Yelling, screaming, throwing things, then laughing the next minute--and believe me there is more.
The thing is, because I'm the daughter, so no one else wanted to call, it automatically was me. I had no choice but to say yes. Of course I want to help my mom, but I feel so overwhelmed. So I agreed. My husband was pissed.
I spent all morning and afternoon looking up information and calling people. I found some good resources, but because she is not harming herself or others, there's nothing that can be done if SHE doesn't want to get help. I wrote her and gave her some info that I hope she will use. I also told her I know she's having some problems, and there is help out there.
Then my family decided that each would take what they could and store it because she isn't really well. (One of the mental health ladies asked me if she had been treated in the past for schizophrenia (spelling?). Nope, but she never got an eval that she was supposed to. Except we all thought she had to be out by a certain time, and because they can't make it by that time, I went with my husband after work and got part of it and brought it to my tiny apartment. Then I found out she's actually out a few days later than she had said or what she thought. I don't know what to think anymore....
My husband is so upset. I don't blame him. He loves me and he sees me essentially doing it to myself, because I can't always say no. He sees this person hurting his wife, whom he loves, and then his wife bending over backwards for that hurtful person. I love him so much. He has stuck by me through everything. He is what keeps me going, keeps me protected (though it doesn't help when I don't listen to his good advice), and is always there for me. To be honest, he's cute when he's upset. He NEVER gets upset, I've seen him this upset only a few times, which is more lately than ever before. I just love that raw emotion, though I don't try and provoke it. He's so laid back, it's just him showing some human emotion instead of that "I don't care/mind" attitude
