[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this is the same person that keeps posting about her mother with various "personality disorders".

Listen OP, there's a saying, it's something like "all happy families are happy in the same way. All dysfunctional families are dysfunctional in different ways."

Without a lot more context, I'm not sure anyone here can guide you.

I’ve posted about her before about her, but it’s been a while.

She started a few months ago claiming my brother died of a drug overdose. She said the sheriff called and told her. I know he doesn’t use drugs, and told her she was wrong. I checked with him the next day, and then called my mother to say he’s alive. That set off weeks of her texting me, or calling and screaming at me that I had to prove he was alive by him calling her. It was all just a dramatic ploy to force contact with him. The attempts have only gotten more desperate over the last couple of years. She can’t deal with the stress of the pandemic, so it morphs into losing her mind about my brother not contacting her.

Like a lot of people with cluster B personality disorders, she needs someone to blame. She invents these stories, then adds to them over the course of years. I think she doesn’t understand what unconditional love looks or feels like, so she decided 10 years ago that my sister must be sexually abusing me for us to be so close. This was also a topic of this week’s texts.

If it were as simple as a phone call, I can hang up on her. I had to do that last week. Then, a few days later, I get 15-25 text messages in the middle of the night that are increasingly abusive and absurd. It upsets me. I’ve explained this to her. She doesn’t seem to care.

She can’t be committed against her will. She will not go willingly. I tried having that conversation with her about 2 years ago. Her state has guidelines for being involuntarily committed. She doesn’t meet them. [/quote]
