My Mum just said to me in an evil, hostile, nasty way 'I'm gunna hang myself because of you! I'm gunna do it. When you least expect it. You won't even see it coming but don't worry, I'll do it.'
The way she said it you would have thought she was threatening to kill me, not herself. She really wanted to hurt me and mess me up in the head.
All I was doing at the time was trying to explain to her how somebody had been taking advantage of her and that she shouldn't be so easily used by other people. She can be very naiive when it comes to others and is often taken advantage of. So I'm always trying to help her recognise when others are doing this. But all I usually get back is her telling me I'm wrong and that I'm too selfish etc etc.
I just give up with everyone and everything. Really.
I think she's just saying this to try and manipulate me and I'm not having it, I just feel sickened. All I ever do is try to help... And that's what I get... But at the same time, now I'm going to be paranoid all the time. She has made suicide attempts in the past. Hasn't for a long time but when she's in that mindset she could.
I refuse to be manipulated by her though. This is what she wants. It's a way of controlling me and it's sick.
The joys of living with mental illness.
She's a paranoid schizophrenic, I am suspected BPD. Very fun times.
