MOTHERS!

What you supposed to do with them!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have long mentioned that mine is certifiably insane, the only trouble is that as long as she does not harm anyone, the State will do nothing to stop her or force her on to medication she has needed for most of her life!  Of course, once she kills someone, well then they will blame her and lock her up ... and all they had to do to save a life was court order her on meds!

I went through this all with my grandmother as well.  After decades! of attempts to get her help, it took her knifing a Catholic priest to get her the help she had needed for most of her life.  And once on meds, she was a model prisoner and released into my custody once I was 18.  No one else in the family wanted her.  And she was perfectly fine - and I always could tell when she was cheating on her meds.

Really a darn same that the government would work in such a way - to protect the rights of the mentally ill!  They do not have to be mentally ill, it is treatable, but apparently the justice system likes statistics - not reality.

So I am late posting today because, well I agreed to take my mother out on a wild goose chase looking another car for her.  She flat refuses to have her POC GMC product repaired because she "can't trust anyone to work on her car", she knows "that they will rip her off".  That vehicle was destined for the crusher perhaps a decade ago!  But no she drove it to the end, refusing to even have it serviced because "they", "them", little green men are out to take her prize vehicle away from her!  AAAARGGGGGG!  My sister and I have argued ourselves blue with her - but any form of reality is completely lost on her!

I even bought her a Mercury station wagon several years ago.  She gave it to a friend because it needed an oil change!  Sigh .......

So, for three hours I hauled her around again this week, on the hunt for a $30,000 car for only $5,000!  Like I said, reality really has nothing to do with her mind.

I think I need a break from my mother after this last one!
