She Got Her Mom Admitted To A Psychiatric Ward, And Now Her Family Won’t Stop Berating Her
A 19-year-old girl currently lives with her boyfriend, who is 22-years-old, and her mom recently ended up moving to their apartment after having some problems with her credit.
Before she lived in the apartment that she does now, her mom’s friend stayed with their family and brought bed bugs into their house.
She ended up having to sadly throw out everything she really owned due to the infestation. About a month after that, her mom wanted to see if it would be alright to stay at her apartment with her and her boyfriend for a little bit.
She told her mom, yes, and after a couple of weeks of her mom staying with her and her boyfriend, her mom asked her permission to stay longer and move some of her belongings in.
At that time, her mom was keeping her things in a storage unit, and she questioned her mom about if she had properly treated her things after the bed bug infestation.
Her mom insisted that she had and her stuff should be free of the bed bugs, so she allowed her mom to bring over some of her clothing and just a little bit of her belongings.
She knew if she let her mom bring everything she had, it would not fit in her little apartment, so that’s why she put requirements around what her mom could take.
Right after this conversation with her mom, her cousin dropped by her house with what was supposed to be “some” of her mom’s things…and it ended up being everything her mom had to her name.
She expressed her concerns to her mom about finding enough space in her apartment for everything, but she let her mom bring everything inside anyway.

Although her mom promised to organize her things, that didn’t happen, and they all struggled to get to the kitchen due to the amount of stuff in the apartment.
“Last night I was going through some of her stuff (which was mine, she had all my books safely stored away with the rest of her collection) I lifted a book, bed bugs scattered out of the box,” she explained.
“I screamed, cried. Mom heard everything. I started yelling at her, saying how could she do this to me! She tried saying that it wasn’t a big deal…I told her it is a big deal, because of her friend I threw away nearly all my belongings.”
“My BF woke up and asked what happened. That’s when mom took it upon herself to scream that I’m bullying her, I need psychotic help. I yelled at her to get out. Mom proceeded to hit herself, saying if I made her leave, she’ll call the police & have my BF arrested for battery.”
She made the choice to call the police, and when they arrived, she informed them of what her mom was doing.
She also told the police that she was terrified for her own safety and her boyfriend’s safety too and that she would appreciate them escorting her mom out of her apartment.
The police wound up taking her mom to a psychiatric ward, as she was demonstrating symptoms of a psychotic episode.
“Since then, my entire family has been calling me, berating me for picking a man over blood,” she continued.
Her boyfriend believes she didn’t do a single thing wrong, and he appreciates her backing him up.
She’s left feeling terrible, especially since her family is all over her about her mom landing where she did.
She’s curious as to whether or not she handled this all appropriately. Do you think so?
