Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default My Son Invited my Mother Over - She Came - 3 Months Later Now What?
OK...my son has had regular phone contact with my mother since she got angry with me and stopped talking....3 months ago...no call for my birthday...didn't see her for christmas.
Anyway....she called yesterday and said i will be over in an hour. Like WTF? She comes in like nothing ever happened. I am confused between knowing that she can and will blow at any time and I will always have to walk on egg shells but i hate that she won't discuss anything after the fact...she admitted that when she blew up "I caught her on a bad day" but that was the extent of it.....no apology...she acts like nothing ever happened.
Now....she called yesterday twice and today already once. I bought a second hand fridge and it died...so now I have to get another one and she is attempting to help me find one. She is so confusing.....sometimes she is concerned other times.....she really acts like she hates me.

It is just so confusing.....Do I just expect hurt and disappiontment...or is this just a "self-fulfilling prophecy"......it is just so hard to know how much to let her back in my life because she can be so volatile and hurtful. I know she is my mom and I have to love her and she doesn't treat my son bad and he loves her. It is like now I am just waiting to piss her off again...I don't know how much to let her in anymore.

Pand,


IMO you can either sit her down and explain how you feel about her and her behavior and try to work on a relationship, you can ignore her and her behavior, or you can tell her to go to hell and get out of your life.

Other than that.... I really don't know what to tell you. As it stands right now, you are stressed from her behavior and you really don't need to be.....

Glad that you are back.....Sucks about the fridge....
