I don't want to make my mother suffer. That isn't what I want.
But I can't feel sympathy and compassion for someone who sends me these things in the middle of the night, but refuses to acknowledge that she needs help:
"monswters," "unrelenting evcil," "demon death to alkld humans," "died iun ny9our samddorasl msewage," "dlalkl oifd them murdsere3rklesdg."
I AM DIRECTLY COPY/PASTING HERE. My mother is a master typist. This person... needs help!!
I can't get her help if she won't seek it herself. I can't get her to stop sending me the hate mail and I worry too much for her safety to stop checking on it to make sure she ISN'T claiming to have hurt herself. Because just minutes after the last, obviously banged-on-the-keyboard message, was this very clear one:
"the best one is this and it is SO TRUE that in my nightmares I KNOW THIS TRUTH. there is NOTHING you people will not do to ruin my poor little life. and I mean there is NOTHING TOO LOW for you TO DO."
These messages are NOT being instigated by anything at all. I haven't written her back in days, because they upset me so - most of my responses are answered with barrages of nasty messages in return instead of just replying to whatever it is that I said. My mother is the only one who's never seen an ultrasound of my baby. She doesn't know my doppler came in, because she wouldn't answer even if I would call. But at 4 AM, I got a string of disgusting, disorienting, misspelled and disturbing messages about how myself and my sister are putting her in danger by having a relationship with our father. Who, by the way, she thinks killed his friend, her grandson, and a random old woman who lived near his regular bar.
My father is not a murderer. I can't get her institutionalized without calling the police, but nothing changed and I mean NOTHING changed after her last 72 hour hold. It has only gotten worse.
What... what do I do?
