		<description>Im glad to see im not alone.the four sacred rules i use to deal with my crazy mother as follows-
                                   1.SHE is ALWAYS the VICTIM
                                   2.EVERYTHING she says is gospel TRUTH.
                                   3.SHE lives in her own little crazy world
                                   4She is INSAINE(nuttier than a squirrel turd)
so i nod my head alot and say ok alot and never argue because thats what  crazy moms THRIVE on is negitive energy-at least my mom does and this is how ive dealt with her.maybe this will help others.</description>

		<description>My mother is a liar and a lunatic.  After allowing me, my husband, and my son to move in to save money and help her out financially, she let my brother, her POA and chief asshole kick us out.  Supposedly the house needs renovations (refinish floors and minor plumbing issues) and they can&#039;t be made with us here.  The latest is that she is deeding the house to him so that he can borrow money against the house to make the repairs.  She cannot comprehend that, if she dies during the process -- and she&#039;s 84, he cannot simply sell the house and give us half of the money without paying 50% in gift taxes.  It&#039;s either beyond her comprehension or negates what my lying, stealing brother is telling her.  He is nothing but a bully and a braggart.  

We are going to the lawyer tomorrow.  I hope he can do something to stop this.  I am hoping they find her incompetent, find that he is taking advantage of her, and remove him as POA.  I also have to address whether or not my brother can be charged with assault.  My 15yo son said something to him, my brother lunged at him.  I pushed my brother&#039;s stomach and grabbed his arm to stop him from touching my son.  He grabbed my hair, twisted my neck, and shoved me into the stove.  I REALLY hurt my neck and shoulder. 

Mom was once diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.  I am bipolar, but it is well controlled with meds.  My mother is totally psycho.  I hate for her to lose everything, because that will mean I will lose everything that my father worked for.  But if she does, she deserves it.  And all the repercussions.</description>

		<description>Thank you for this meeting place of brothers and sisters who experienced the awful joys of having a crazy parent(s).  My mother is one of the rank and file crazies, though I understand now that she could not help it.  Neglect, psychotic ramblings, zoning out, physical abuse, crying, blaming, extreme unhappiness, angry fits, broken dishes, hypochodriac treatments, and beatings were the order of the day in my household growing up.  My father absorbed himself in his work during the day, and when he came home, all seemed normal..at least for a while.  But during those days, she was a different person, and my brothers and sister and I tiptoed around her as if she were an active volcano.  She didn&#039;t want us and hated her life as a country housewife, so she chose escapism.  That in addition to an unlucky genetic predisposition, gave birth to her madness.  As we grew up, her fits became more and more uncontrollable until she was a danger.  It&#039;s a weird feeling being scared of your own mother..trust issues anyone?  In college, my older sister finally went back home to help her get some help, but by that time, irreversible damage was already done.  She was diagnosed as Manic Depressive and Schizofrenic.  For a long time, I have never been able to have a real conversation with my mother...I&#039;ve never been able to go to her for any comfort or advice. There is a huge gap in my life, and it makes me not able to relate to women very well..there is some nagging feeling here that everything will unravel at any moment in my relationships..powerless to change or alter..just a working chaos.  If you are like me, then you have probably wasted a whole lot of your life trying to find a substitute or foster mother to sooth your wounded inner child.  You look to food, drugs, sex, bad relationships, fantasies which all results in more damage to your inner self.  Only now, at 41, am I becoming the mother to myself that I never had....that&#039;s what you have to learn to be in the end...no one can play this role for you, though you may really desire it.  I often am reminded of that song..&quot;Sometimes, I feel like a Motherless Child&quot;....it&#039;s our theme song..sing it in mourning and sing it proudly.  If you&#039;re still alive, broken as you may feel, then you will be able to pull your scattered selves together and become the divine parent.  God Bless..</description>

		<description>My crazy mother just made trouble between my sister and her three brothers of which I&#039;m the youngest.  The middle brother was visiting and took out my brother and his son (who were also visiting from out of town), my two boys and myself, along with mom to a fancy dinner out.  My mother didn&#039;t want my sister there.  The really hurt my sis and she is still sort of mad that we brothers went along with this and didn&#039;t stick up for her.   I feel bad about this and really wish we didn&#039;t have a crazy mother, since this was probably the last time we are all going to be in the same place again.   I hope my sister forgives us one day.</description>

		<description>on top of that, i think she lies to me, and she&#039;s manipulative. she manipulates to get what she wants - and if she doesn&#039;t get her way, she will slam the door, bang cupboards, lock herself in her room, bang dishes, stomp her feet, hiss under her breath, and act like she&#039;s being victimized. it&#039;s like dealing with a child....there is such completely lack of emotional maturity.

i also think she expects me to sacrifice my life to cater to her needs, wants, and providing for her, afterall, isn&#039;t that what she had me for?

she lacks self-awareness, doesn&#039;t connect her actions, words, and behavior to resulting outcomes. and thinks i&#039;m the &quot;bad&quot; and &quot;selfish&quot; one. it&#039;s crazy and i refuse to live like this. for many years i&#039;ve kept silent, i was too embarassed and ashamed to let other people know.....i wanted to protect the family reputation....but now i want to call a spade a spade.

She is CRAZY. And I want OUT.</description>
