Jode,
No advice here either. Just many hugs and prayers.

Jode and Kelly, I totally understand, and I know the desire to want a safe place to fall. I still do not have that, but I do wish that for both of you.
I will be praying for a clear path. What about talking to an abuse shelter for help. I would want you out as soon as possible. Do you have anyone else to lean on for a month or two?
I am so sorry and have already prayed but will continue. I am again so sorry!
Aww, Jode. I so sorry you have to go through all this. My dad died of Alzheimer's and I know it's not exactly the same thing, he turned mean and I have known what it's like to be on the bad side of that. Hugs and prayers, friend.jodie

I really thought I was in an abusive situation when someone pushes you into a table and you break a bone....but this ......heck I would rather be a punching bag. At least when someone hits you you actually know what is going on, this crap she is feeding me is just insane...well she is emotionally ill...
not gonna be my prob for too much longer that is for sure. WHy is it I am always the scapegoat? why is everything typically my fault? AM I retarded or something?

I just keep hoping one day that she will stop being so crazy. Just one normal conversation would be nice!! I know it will never happen, but I think it's only natural to want a normal relationship with your parent(s), no matter how impossible that may be.
Been there as well. I finally had to leave the state. My husband even turned down a career opportunity because it was too close to either side of our families. I thank God every day for such a strong supportive spouse.
Hugs and prayers and positive thoughts going out to all.

forgot......where would I take something to be tested...like a glass of diet coke or juice or something. THere have been several times when I have fixed something to drink and it tastes funny so I dump it out. Twice now I forgot to do that and went sound to sleep for over 4 hours. Maybe coincidence, maybe not.....I am not accusing but getting a bit nervous, maybe paranoid...but something is definately going on.
Anybody know where I can get this done? THen I would have proof....then it is the mental institution forever.
I hate disclosing this to everyone, I really do, it is so very embrassing!
So embrassed,

Jode, dear, it just breaks my heart that you must live like this. And that you have for so long. I agree with your plan. Do whatever it takes to get away from this cruel person!
It is so hard for me to comprehend a mother treating her child the way you, Jode and Kelly, have been treated. My own dear Mother was such a loving person. She went through some pretty hard times in her life, but she never laid them on us.
You are both mothers, too. You know how you feel about your children. We give them all the support we can and love them unconditionally. I just cry for you both that you had to give so much of yourselves, just trying to win the approval of someone who can't give it.
You are in my heart and in my prayers. May you be blessed with peace and much happiness.
Much love, Nini
You seem to be oposite my mom and her son right now.
My brother is what our family calls a "wack job" he is mentally ill but still sane enough to fool his wife and children.
He believes whatever his mind makes up. I have had emails in the past where he said things like mom was a tramp, dad is god etc. etc. then turns around 3 hrs later and says oposite, says he was christian one minute and yelling at me about religion only to say hours later that he has no religion so he doesn't know where i got that idea from.
Luckily for me, his mental illness is on his real father's side (different dads). His dad went crazy, his uncle etc.
We don't know what to do with him.
He writes my mom letters at holidays saying "you were such a tramp, my kids hate you and wish you were dead".
My mom is a good christian woman, married for a very long time.
He is crazy and i am so afraid that he might hurt my mom one day. Mental illness is horrible.
OMG Jode, it breaks my heart to read this. I will certainly be thinking of you and your daughter and praying for all of you, even your mother. I just can't imagine how a person like that must feel inside. It must be a terrible feeling, plus she has ruined so many lives. Jode, I wish I had better advice for you, but I do not know what I would do either, but I really think that it is "JODE" time. Be good to yourself.Thank you all so much for your support.
