Q: My mother was recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia, yet she is in denial. If you scream at her to get help, her face remains completely unchanged and emotionless.
She thinks everyone is out to get her, and against her; trying to take me and my brother away from her,which has already been done.
In March of last year, my little brother John was taken by his father from my mother. She hasn't seen him since. But he did it for John's own safety because at the time, my mother was somewhat abusing me, and she went to jail for it for four months.
She blames my father, Johns father, and her own mother for everything that;s happening to her, and nothing we say will convince her to get help. She doesn't think she needs help, and absolutely refuses to get it.
On June 4th of this year my grandmother is going to stop paying for my mother hotel room [since the state of Georgia won't allow her to be around me alone] and is going to stop helping all in one.
Then we're going to Virgina for about 5 days; so my mother won't come to us asking for more help.
Thinking about doing that to my own mother, whom I love to death, breaks my heart.
I really need help on how to make her understand that she needs help...or I'll never have my old mother back ):
