Dad spoke to mom's doctor

My dad happened to be home yesterday and mom happened to be out. The phone rang and it was mom's psychiatrist. Dad was unable to find any info earlier in the week so we considered this perfect timing. Dad filled him in on everything with my mother. Now we'll have to see what happens. If he's a good doctor, he'll pursue this. If he's a bad doctor he's just going to give her more drugs.


We're a little more convinced at this point that this was a ploy for attention. My mother and brother have not been speaking for a couple months and we think this is mom's way of getting his attention. Bad news mom, my brother is in California this week and we're not troubling him for this. My cousin that started all this is as much of a drama queen as my mother. She's also a trouble maker and two faced. Considering mom's history we still felt we needed to look into this.


I guess right now we're letting the chips fall where they may. Thanks for your support. I'll keep you updated.

Hi Renee,


It's great that things worked out so that your dad was able to speak with your mom's doc! At least now a professional has been informed and everyone is hopefully on the same page so to speak!

I hope this works out for your mom & the whole family. Even manipulative behavior & the suggestion that suicide is the only solution is NOT an emotionally healthy way of coping. Keep in touch! (((hugs))) jan

I believe my brother and his wife will be back Sunday. They're now aware of the situation since mom left a weird message on their answering machine while they were gone. My brother called my sister to see what was up. The problem between my brother and mother is that my mother HATES my brother's wife. She is the sweetest woman on earth and I've never seen my brother so happy. I don't see an easy resolution to this one.


Thank you again and bless you for all you do.
