Hi.
Argh, i hate to be a whiner but it's getting on my nerves.
my mother suffers from heavy delusions, she makes up stories about people who never existed, about things that never happened, and it has been almost 10 years..
my brother, he is young, she curses in front of him all the time, she is really foul mouthed ..
Okay, she is worst mother any woman could ever be.
We tried, but she doesn't want any psychologist's help, she thinks we'll abandon her in a mental institution, and it's getting realy tough now, it hard to stay in the same room with her. she gets hysterical about everything, flies in to rage when we rub off her stories or even try to get her to believe that all that she is talking is her imagination!!
I am dealing with this since i was in grade 6 and now I have graduated, but her illusions have only grown worse.
the holistic therapy approach is just crap(i talked to some people and conclusion was:it's sheer wastage of money)
what should I do to make my mum understand without offending her that she needs psychiatric help??? I have tried talkign but she gets angry and secludes herself, since dad died last year, she gets even more sentimental.
(it's weird, after my dad died, mum's condition has got better, i mean, earlier, 24/7 she acted paranoid but now, the tendencies appear at a slower pace..like she'd act really strange and hysterical once every day..it's painful to see her act like this, she knows there is something wrong with her, but i can't help her, ...and it will hurt her pride if i confront her about her condition but honestly, it is too intricate, i ll probably move out in a couple of months or soo.
My kid bro is small, just 12, she is damaging him..bad! real bad..the kid is so innocent, she has already ruined his 2 years, we can't take him away from her, but if he stays with her, he'll end up in a ditch, she is doing horrible things to his mind..i don't know what to do.

Thanks Alyson.
Thanks for the answer.
thanks for your reply.
A lot of the schizophrenia stories I've read were whether written by a doctor/the patients family or the patient themselves. The ones written by the aforementioned aren't as deep as the ones written by the patients themselves. The family's are usually either in denial or they blame things on the patient. True a patient can be in denial, but sometimes they are aware that something is wrong.
