My mother is insane...again

Everything here was going pretty smooth until today. My mother is seriously crazy. She wants 'us' to get a check to take care of Lissa. She got the neighbor involved and now her and this neighbor think this is a good idea. I told them no. That's not how this works and no one gets paid to look after my granddaughter.

My mother called DHS and pretended to be me. She wanted them to send her a welfare check. There was mass confusion and I had to straighten it all out. My mother said, now you'll never get a welfare check. I told her to leave it alone. She's seriously crazy. When will people realize she's 100% bat shit crazy? She doesn't have Lissa..I DO. She is NEVER going to get a state welfare check for letting Lissa watch Sponge Bob with her after school! I am fit to be tied. And wtf is the neighbor involved for? She's crazy too, by the way, but, claims to know all the rules of the system. I said, the kids have a lawyer, I meet with them. I follow their recomendations and rules. The neighbor and my insane old mother think they know better than any lawyer. And welfare is free money!

I just have to calm down before I bust some heads. I have been dealing with this shit all my life. You'd think I could see it coming. I wish she'd get put in a home sometimes. I am so tired of this shit. Why why why does she start such chaos all the fucking time?

Your mother sees free money opportunities and she is all over that shit, isn't she? She really sucks, I'm sorry you have to deal with her.

She just wears me to the bone. She has ruined my life with this shit since I was Lissa's age. Welfare, lying, impersonation, forgery jesus christ. It never ends.

For a old lady, she sure has a lot of energy. My MIL, who by the way, reminds me of your mother, can't even figure out how to get a few bucks in food stamps or turn her tv on. Bonk her on the head. Hang in there.

Angie said...

And seriously, you couldn't have picked a scary picture for this post. Shit.

Frimmy said...

My mother would be like this but she's a fanatical christian and can't rationalize it most of the time. She's always looking for ways to beat the system and get rich. Then Jesus slaps her on the hand. (my father rolls his eyes and says no) It's kind of funny to watch the insanity. How come your mother has no issue with welfare scams, fraud and Jesus? She should be ashamed of herself!

She called and pretended to be you??? I'd be so pissed. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Dirty Disher said...

Yes! She called DHS!! And said she was me. And talked all kinna crazy.

Maureen said...

You're lucky you don't live where I live. The child welfare people around here are just as crazy as your Mom. They take any call they get seriously, no matter how ridiculous. DYFS would have been at your door inspecting everything in your home. These people have ruined so many people's lives in this county. it's just astounding. I don't know how they get away with it. Usually, after everything is proved to be legit, they still have the right to butt into your life for a few more years.

The main social worker I deal with is totally cool. She's middle aged, smart and she doesn't listen to bull shit. She's helped me out. She knows when to bend rules and when something is just stupid.

Alison said...

Your mom is a crazy greedy bitch! Bananas, crackers, and nuts. I'm sorry you have to deal with this DD. Jeez.

My dad and my sister are insane too. Stark-raving mad. Sis is hooked on pain meds in a very bad way. Dad is just naturally crazed. It just sucks.

Dirty Disher said...

Man, I'm better now. But, jesus christ. I don't want anyone's finances disrupted, this is not a court case. There are no courts involved and that's how I want it to stay. I can't make my mother understand what's going on. GAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Erin said...

That sucks DD. Can you just lie and tell her you're getting paid to get her to shut up? Or will she demand and cut and/or want to see the checks?

Noelle said...

Is there a line on your info where they could put crazy elderly mother ask for secret word. Crap. What a drag. Did you tell her she could go to jail or a stunt like that? Might be fun to find a cop and scare the shit out of her. Like the child who steals candy. Probably wouldn't work. good luck.

Dirty Disher said...

I had to tell them she's fucking senile. Lissa gets free lunch, hell, she probably wants part of that.

Dirty Disher said...

They're out feeding the cats now. How much do you think she charges for that?

Frimmy said...

What is the point of having offspring if you can't exploit them for personal gain?!

I can see how it would wear you down, DD. I would also hate that someone so bereft of intelligence would presume to say they were me. I have enough trouble being taken seriously, dammit.

This might come out the wrong way on paper, but since both my folks have passed away, life has been a little easier, a little calmer. Enough with the crazy-making.

Dirty Disher said...

I get that.

A-Gran said...

I just realized after seeing that picture that I picture the motherthing as looking like Bette Davis. I know that you've said there's Native American in your mix and that she's dark but for some reason I've always pictured Bette. I suppose it's probably because bitch is stark-raving insane.

Dirty Disher said...

She has a doll like that, it sits in her LR in a chair.

mary_mary said...

Now THAT kind of shit scares me!:D

Dirty Disher said...

Mary, can I see a photo of your Bakelite phonograph? I'd like to see that.

Frimmy said...

mary_mary is totally the bomb! I think we should gay polygamous civil union her

Angie said...

Frimmy, you're going to scare Mary off with that kind of talk. She's going to need a little time to get...used to us ;)

Unknown said...

C'mon now Angie! Mary is wearing a sexy tiara! Come to the dark side, Mary!

Dirty Disher said...

She's already here.

Unknown said...

Let's all woo hoo together then!

A-Gran said...

Yes, yes, we all want to fuck Mary Mary... but what is a bakerlite phonograph? Don't make me have to break out the google.

I just finished reading a book written by Judge Judy...it's called "Don't Pee on my Leg and Tell Me It's Raining". The book is a collection of stories about her years as a family court judge and she talks pretty candidly about welfare and families that consider it free money.

Your mother should read the book then look in the mirror.

your mother may already have dementia dd. my mum (who turned 89 yesterday) has it so bad now that she cant hurt me anymore because she only eats and sleeps, doesnt even talk anymore ie insult and abuse me. i doubt that she even knows who i am. she was 'certified' last year and put into a nursing home. on reflection i think she started getting dementia years ago.

mary_mary said...

Ha ha - I love all of youse! I'm not scared off. It's all good in the neighborhood...I have been an avid reader of this blog for a couple of years and lately I have been wanting to join in with the discussions. So nice to know there are like-minded people in the world. I get so pissed off at the human race sometimes and then I find a great group like you .... over on the dark side! Bah ha ha ha hah.
I am trying to figure out how to attach the photos of the Bakelite phonograph, Dear DD, otherwise I will email them to you and you can post here. x0

Thanks mucho,

Tell your mother if she doesn't hush, you going to have her declared indigent and YOU will get a check every month for taking "care" of her.
