About a month ago my little sis and 2 baby nieces moved in with the mom. Everyone warned her not to cause the Mom is a lunatic in a very bad sort of way. Moms always been a drunk, addict, flying of the handle, and going off the deep end every day of her life. She’ll never change and the family has come to accept this. We’ve accepted shes mad, selfish, …. well anyway.

Bethany moves in with her and within a week Moms driving her nuts. Trying to nickle and dime her — like trying to charge my sister $200 for staying there the first week when the woman’s house payment is only $400/month. Meanwhile she tells the rest of the family that Bethany isn’t offering her any help financially at all. The point of Bethany moving in was to help our Mom because she’s gotten to the point mentally where she can’t keep track of her bills and has been in danger of foreclosure on her house.

Bethany walks in earlier today and finds Mom going through her personal letters and pictures. This is nothing new. The Mom once went through our twin brothers wallet and threw away some personal letters he kept in his wallet because she didn’t like what they said. So Bethany starts yelling at Mom for going through her personal things instead of respecting her privacy. Mom loses grip and grabs Bethany by the hair and Bethany in turn slams Mom’s head into the bedroom wall until she lets go. Meanwhile the little ones are crying, watching the whole thing.

::sigh::

Its not surprising in the slightest. But just upsetting that the little ones (2 and almost 4) were there and saw it. Its just disgusting. I called my older sister Tiffany who lives in AZ. We discussed how the Mom really needs to be put in a mental hospital of some sort for treatment for her mental problems (obviously violent). But Bethany and my twin wouldn’t go for it. They don’t keep people locked up long enough to really get help anymore unless she was put in a state facility. Shes a danger to others and to herself and could probably be accessed as such. Who knows…maybe a group home would do her some good if anyone would have her there. She wouldn’t follow the rules.

But shes never gotten treatment or sought help in all the years since I’ve been born. She was hospitalized years ago but it was more for a drug problem with speed. I don’t know. Its just more of the same thing. Just thought I’d share it I guess. I don’t know.

Hope Sent,
