[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing about having a crazy mom. When you tell one story, like OP has done, ppl criticize and think you are a bad daughter or "drama queen" as pp stated above.

But this is the 4000th  "crazy story" and it's so illogical, OP could only make sense of it by telling this funny story.

My crazy mom (bi-polar with delusions) hate-texted me because I didn't thank her for my 6yr old's birthday card which contained my bio-father's obit in it. I didn't meet this man in life, don't care that he's dead and it is INAPPROPRIATE that she sent an obit in a b-day card.

Hate text included such phrases as "you'r a fraud" and "you think you are so high-and mighty" and "can't you see, I was just trying to save a s tamp"[/quote]

OP here.  Thank you for getting it.  One can either internalize these incidents or laugh them off.  I choose to laugh.

And I am familiar with the greeting card dramas, PP.  Oh, the greeting card dramas.  So sorry.[/quote]

My MIL has bipolar with delusions. She does not take meds because the government is trying to poison her.  Seeing a greeting card envelope in the mailbox makes my heart sink.  She won't have a phone because Satanists are always bugging her phone. She won't use the Internet because the Satanists spy on her through the computer.  She sends a couple of cards to DH per week and sometimes to the kids. DH can't deal with it anymore. I open them, read them, and then hand them off to DH if there is something he needs to know about (Ie. she packed all of her stuff and was going to move to Georgia -- with no money, no where to go, and no plan). I screen the kids' mail for appropriateness.  She's exhausting and she isn't even my mother. I can't imagine how much worse it would be if she were my mother and I was emotionally invested in the relationship.
