my mother is depressed- deeply in debt, lost her job, no insurance so no bp meds or hormones she relies on. my gfather- her dad- is very very sick with cancer. she keeps saying if he doesn't die soon she'll go put a pillow over his face. obviously they've never been close but they have stayed in touch. now she suddenly going down to see him for Father's Day and we're all freaking out that something will happen. she's never been violent in her life but she is very angry lately and just this weekend said he'll deal with her or die (to my sister who was trying to persuade her not to go). It seems so crazy but she's pretty desperate. can an otherwise nonviolent person be driven to do something insane? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

it just seems so crazy. i can't really believe she would do anything. she lives far from me but i have sisters near by and i keep calling them to say no good can come from her going down there. he specifically said he didn't want her to come and she said he has to deal with her. i'm as worried about her as him at this point. i can't personally stop her though.

well of course a person w/o a history of violence can chose to do something violent. I personally wouldn't let her alone w/ grandfather. she sounds really unbalanced. [ Reply | More

i think she is unbalanced- a combination of depressing and being off her necessary meds. she doesn't reassure, like i would never ever do anything. she's like mind your own fing business. [ Reply | More

yes we've all been talking. my gfather is very obstinant (sp) and won't allow any regular help. so my aunt goes down to check in on him and help when she can. my mom used to go but they got into a huge fight so she stopped going. he has neighbors and they are going to call the police is she shows up. i'm just trying to find out if she's going so they we can get ahead of it. she would drive down and its about 12 hours.

i think first she needs to be seen medically and get back on her thyroid meds and bp meds to stabilize things, then maybe get her into therapy. she's about to lose her house etc and told me too late to help. its a total train wreck. she's really in a bad place. i can't imagine the stress she's under. my sisters are passive or angry but they don't help, they enable or judge. its so sad. this is also a life long pattern.
