So finally after many years of my mother's mental condition ripping apart our family from her refusal to get help, its looking more like she will soon be leaving us and starting a life on her own. Life at home has always been hell do to her mental problems and my dad, sister, and I are finally fed up with it.
My mom has finally come set on leaving us to go live 3,000 miles away in California and live with her relatives. She is convinced we are the enemy and refuses to believe anything is wrong with her. As far as she is concerned, we are the crazy ones. No matter how hard we try to convince her and talk to her doctors nothing has ever helped.
For the first time I can honestly say I pretty much have given up on her. I feel a lot of guilt saying that but I can reflect back and know without a doubt we tried everything we can.
Its just such a tragedy that our family is breaking up all due to her imagination. All the different medicines, doctors, and hospitals have not done any good. If you calculated all expenses for her bills related to mental health it is in excess of $30,000 over about 6 years. As long she forever believes she is not the problem it will never make a difference.
Its just unreal how she can talk about divorcing and leaving without even a flinch.
