Q: mother in complete denial

ive been considering moving for some time and i feel horrible because i dont want her to be alone with this problem that she denies that she has, my family has tried several times to get her in to a facility; they have lied to the cops to have her taken and i dont know what to do anymore, i have seen a psychologist myself and all i hear is to worry about me, because its been going on for so long that my life is totally wrapped up in worrying about her, is this wrong to feel after so many rejections and blowouts, i believe there is bipolar involved too because one minute she is trying to be nice and the next shes throwing me on the street and if i leave she calls and tries to find me and says people are out to get me as well, im so lost.

she is unable to hold a job her house is about to be foreclosed and she lives to find certain newspapers that have "ads" that are taken out for her "to find" she says,

she will not watch TV because she feels someone is watching her through the cable box, she keeps towels over it even if its off, and if she does watch TV the programs are specifically dedicated to her life and are warning her she says. i cant even talk to her about anything with out a huge fight of screams, and she is single and wont talk to ANYONE, she claims its my fathers fault but he has moved on and has a complete different life, he will not communicate with her being the issues that come up and she constantly is yelling at me to contact him for her because she feels she is owed something for their breakup, she feels he is the one who started this in her life, but yet if he comes by to pick me up she still wants to talk to him, and then claims he is a "zombie" and anyone who take medicine for mental health is a 'zombie' as well, and that the government has a part is making people "zombies",

im running out of options because i cant keep living this way but its hard to shut out my mother, but she will not; no matter what go to a doctor and tell them anything.

i dont know what to do!

I feel for you because I have a mother who is sick too. I can say she`s even worse than your mother, but she`s now 75 year`s old and I don`t know what to do, because she`s against medication also. But I`m also sick but I thake medication so I`m ok.

honestly I don't know how old you are but my mother is crazy too. yours seems worse than mine but that is good seriously because my mom is able to hold a job so there is no way to get her help. Your mother is not able to function all the way and what you need to do is seriously save yourself. Get yourself away from the situation. I did myself when i was 12 i stayed with friends and there family. Your mother will in dout get to state where she will have nowhere to go but the hospital and then she will get help she needs. So focus on saving yourself then try to build a relationship or help your mother after she is on meds and better.
