is there any thing i can do to have someone like check her out or like make her take medication. i tihnk she has serious problems because she gets really angry over the slightest thing. there is much more to the story but i dont feel it is necessary to say unless you want to hear it.

bascially, she'll get angry at me or my sister or even my 20 eyar old cousin and start screaming and throwing things. i fear for my life because i am unsure of what she is going to do next. her temper is really bad and she has used physical force among us when we were little. i dont t hink she'll tuch me now, knowing the amount of weapons that are in my room and that i carry.

but i am still afraid of her.
any suggestions on what i can do?
there is no use talking to her (extremely closed minded) and my dad is scared of her as well.

i dont have the funds to move out by myself nor should i need tobe forced under such conditions.

 

If shes as bad as you say she is you may be able to call the hospital psyciatric ward and have her commited, but that's only if she's doing things that endanger your life or her own.

 

where is your dad?
have you tried talking to her on a good day? all of you sit her down and have a talk
does she have siblings or parents to talk to?

 

:werd: This is where you need to start

Legally, as long as she is of sound mind, she calls the shots as far as what doctors she wants to see. Only in cases where she is mentally incompetent or unconscious can a medical proxy dictate treatment. If you call her in to the police as being threatening or whatever, the only recourse you really have is a restraining order, and I think that's probably counterproductive in this case.

Is this something new? Has it always been this way? Is it getting better or worse? What sort of problems has she had at work recently (or other problems)? If this is a sudden change, then something had to have happened to set it off. People don't go from regular to crazy mad without some sort of provocation. I think the key is to ask her why she's so mad, and lay out your concerns. Don't bring up a doctor or psychiatrist. Find out where she's at.

 

You might want to consider a group intervention with a counselor on hand. When you approach her one at a time, she can easily over come you. Surround her with family, cousins, and anyone who knows her issue, then she can't run.

People only seek help if they think they need help. She'll never admit her wrongs unless it's forced in her face.

 

hmm, good ideas..this has always been a problem with her, which is probably why the divorse happened.

 

divorced and still living under same roof?

 

Have you just straight-out talked to her? Although, that may not be such a good idea, if she's really nuts... Maybe do something sneaky like videotape her and show her how crazy she looks throwing a fit... Works with the preschoolers at work. lol.

 

my dad lives in sunset area, my cousin and i live with my mom...my sister has already been kicked out multiple times.

 

Any chance you can move in with pops???
