My mom is turning crazy.

The best way I can describe it is that my mother is rapidly turning into one of those white trash crazy moms seen on "reality tv". You all probably saw or heard of that crazy religious mom that was on the show in which families trade parents. The one with the Christian fixation. Well, less Jesus and more jeezus and you have my dilemma.

She flies off the handle at random and aggrivating moments and gives people no opportunity to talk things over logically. For example, I just spent 20 minutes being bitched at before I even had a chance to finish my original sentence that started the rant. After a long period of sighing and head-shaking, I finished my original sentence that proved the entire basis of her raving was unfounded. After hearing this her eyes glazed over and she continued to harp on about how the other 5 things she managed to relate to this issue were still to blame.

This is her reasoning:

Situation A was caused by Situation B. Situation B was directly tied into C. Situation D was loosely related somehow in her mind. So to her B, C, and D all are to blame. Even when Situation A was actually false, as in, she was harping about something that didn't happen, she kept going on about B, C, and D.

What the hell am I supposed to do about this? It's getting to the point of complete irrationality. Taking a calm and logical approach to things just makes her increasingly angry as she sees she isn't flipping my bitch switch.

How could this happen to me I've made my mistakes got nowhere to run The night goes on as I’m fading away I'm sick of this life I just want to scream How could this happen to me

Think that's bad? You know my family.

Yes, but your mom gives you lots of food.

Yes, but your mom gives you lots of food.

Not really. I've been living on grilled cheese and fast food for the last five weeks.

Well, the food is there. You COULD be eating it. I see that food. Don't think I don't see it.

Cream of mushroom soup, spoiled ham, and flour are all I see.

You could [alliteration] bite a big bald boner [/alliteration].

Menopause.

Does that really happen? Menopause makes women go psycho bitch? Does it... stop? Because this has been getting increasingly worse over the past 4 months or so.

All women are psycho bitch. Menopause just makes it worse.

As for it going away, well, I'm really not sure. My mother had to have a whatchamacallit where she cant have kids anymore and it caused early menopause. She's been a bitch since.

Tell her to see a doctor for some relaxation pills... sheesh.

Menopause.

Ditto

Move to another state. Worked for me.

If it is menopause, at least it will get better. My mom was fucking nuts when she went through it, but thankfully I was in college and didn't have to deal with it. My dad would just bitch and moan to me every other day about how irrational she was being. Now, she has random temper tantrums, but for the most part, she is calm now. I don't know how long it lasts though..

Tell her to see a doctor for some relaxation pills... sheesh.

Vicodin

All I can say to the first 4 posts.... AIM please.

i think its more of a mental thing cause they know they are getting older and it scares them. Menopause is just a fancy word for elderly women.

Vicodin

more like horse tranquilizer.

i asked my dad what he would do because i had no idea, and he basicly said that you're screwed until it goes away on it's own...... but i would say that something is bothering her that needs to get resolved. did something trumatic happen recent to this whole thing starting?

Yea, she probably realized that she was getting old.

not quite what i meant, but probably true.
