Should I be worried that my mom is talking to herself at night?
My mom is 38 years old now and she works at night. My mom usually gets home from work about 3am. I have been waking up for close to 2 months now probably because I hear voices coming from the living room. Well, for the past few weeks now I've been sneaking into the living room to check out who my mom has over or whatever so late. It appears that she is talking to herself though!
It looks like my mom is talking to someone right across from her. She is looking straight ahead and everything, every time I have seen her! The weird thing is that it's basically dark in there. There is enough light for me to see the figure of my mom decently (including where her gaze is projected) and know that there isn't anyone else in the living room. She usually speaks quietened down, a little lower than her regular voice--sometimes down to almost a whisper.
She's really starting to scare me though. I've asked her on multiple occasions now about her night chats. She has, time and time again, responded with, "What are you talking about?" She appears to have COMPLETELY forgotten about it.
Should I be worried? What should I do?

I agree with the person below me. Your mother could very well be talking on the phone & you wouldn't know because the lights were off. However, if she's not on the phone, something could be wrong.
I would recommend you get her to a psychologist so they can see what's up, but if she's not willing to go, you cannot make her. Maybe see if there's someone in your family you can ask about this? Maybe someone would be willing to take you to a doctor so you can acquire some information about this and get some better input.

If it's only light enough to see her silohette, how do you know she isn't talking on her phone? When you wake up and hear her, just get up and go out there. Nothing to be ashamed of. Just tell her you woke to use the bathroom and wanted to say goodnight.

I think she's repressing what she's doing in other words it's in the pre-conscious. She doesn't re-call for something that's traumatic. Maybe something occured that she doesn't recall and that's the way she tend's to react and she won't even remember that one as well.
I recommend she goes to a psychologist asap, so they can do some test's on her like psychoanalysis like they can hypnotize her and her feeling's that she can't re-call would appear from her pre-concious, it's really cool how they do this.
But, this is not normal.
She goes to a psychologist, and get therapy.
