You got me there.

Living with someone who is mentally unstable is very difficult. You have to discipline yourself to look past the hurtful behavior and words and the daily annoyances and burdens to see what you love about them, what is good about them. Because it's usually not something that they are aware of or can do anything about. It takes patience and love, which all sounds nice, but I know it's really hard.

Both of my parents were mentally ill, seriously mentally ill and not just "crazy" like mentioned here. Both passed away by the time I was 24. There is no fixing what went wrong now.

If you love your mother and think she has a mental illness, do all you can to help her. If you're just fighting because of living under the same roof, get from under that roof and save your relationship.

My mom's mother was mental ill. She ended up drinking herself to death after her husband died. My mom lost both of her parents when they were 54 yrs old.
Mental illness like that can really mess ppl up for generations.
My dad used to tell me that it skips a generation.
