Need some help!

[SpikesPet5150]

Hey everyone.. I need some positive thoughts sent to my friend Melanie. Her mom isn't really in reality-land.. never really has been.. but today, she had this psychotic breakdown. Mel is now living with me, until she can afford to get her own place. I can't imagine how hard this is for her, to have to go through this with her mom, but I know she's hurting alot. Tonight I'm doing a protection spell, so her mother doesn't harm her in any way (she's been known to do that alot).. but I would appreciate some good thoughts.. maybe a candle lit.. or prayers. :) I hope I'm strong enough to see her through this. Thanks for the help in advance guys.

Thanks you guys! I think she's doing a little better now... at least she's out of that house. Her and I are going to go look at apartments tomorrow, for her. Her father told her she can use her college fund to live off of until she can earn enough to pay for rent. So things are looking up. Thank you guys so much for this, it means the world to me! ***HUGS***

my mother is nuts too. if your friend needs someone to talk to, even if it's just the occasonal e-mail or chat or something like that... let her know that I empathize deeply and i'm going through the same situation now (my mother recently began stealing large sums of money from me, as well as destroyed my SS card and birth certificate, and nearly cost my husband his job after taking, and hiding his time sheets).

In my situation, my mother is schitzofrenic. If you dont' know much about this mental illness, basically, you see/hear/feel/experience things that aren't there, you remember things tht didn't happen, and forget things that really did. To her, it's all VERY VERY real. to everyone else, it's maddening as things dissapear, as she talks to herself all night and day, doesn't clean or buy food. We are personally afraid she'll do something stupid again, like get stuck in another time zone, break more dishses, get arrested for harrasing the neighbors, or have another nervous breakdown and cut herself up again. Most likely, my father will have to institutionalize her.

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out why life was so cruel to this woman that once seemed to be a saint. Now i realize, that even before i was born, she was suffering from the same kind of violent delusions as she is now.

I know what it's like to be in a really tough situation.

I have to move out, REALLY soon. I lost most of my paycheck to "mysterious" disappearances this last pay period, and now I'm gonna have problems starting an account and paying my debts off. I live in the NYC area, and rents are rediculous. Your friend is fortunate to have a college fund and a father that undertands her situation. My parents, or my father at least, are willing to let my husband and I stay at thier home, but it's a very strict situation, and we have no privacy (the rooms are all railroaded with the exception of my father, who has a seperate room with his own exit. I cannot lock the door to our room since then my mother would have no way to leave the apartment, and we still have to walk through her room to use the bathroom or go to the kitchen. Also, because of my mother's condition, my husband isn't allowed to be in the house without me, so i have to constantly adjust my schedule or he'll end up god knows where sleeping on a train cause he can't go "home").

I wish her the best of luck. Life is hard but maybe there will be some lesson learned from this whole situation.

As i offered before, if she needs someone to talk to, that really does know what she's going through, she is more than welcome to contact me through any means that are convenient.

Although my friends are caring and supportive, sometimes it helps to know tht someone, somewhere REALLY understands.

Bright blessings to you

I'm sorry you are going through so much hardship. I won't say I know or understand what you're going through cause everyone's pain is different, but I will say everything happens for a reason. I don't know what that reason is, that is for you to discover. But once you find that reason you shall be free of the hurt. I shall pary to the Goddess and God that you find that reason.


Blessed Be
Prince Salo
