Please, what is wrong with my Mother?!
Question: I'm so confused. She tells me she loves me and is nice to me sometimes, but she kept hitting me hard in the back of the head with her fist. She tried to get my dad to hit her, but he doesn't want to do that. She doesn't eat as much as she needs to, never does ANYTHING for herself, doesn't take her blood pressure medicine. She's supposed to be staying at home and taking care of the house, because she refuses to get a job, but it's fallen into filth, with her only doing the bare minimum of cleaning and such. I'm scared for my little sister Mom accidentally kicked her while she was trying to kick me. I'm worried she'll hurt her or let her get into something dangerous. All the while Mom lies to me and tells me that she loves me and everyone else, but everybody hates her. She'll hit herself in the head and say that maybe I should pray that she'll die, but I don't want her dead. I just want her better, but she won't go to the doctor. Should I tell my Psychiatrist about this?

Absolutely,
tell your doctor everything. Your doctor can act on this. It souinds like your mother needs to be seeing the Psychiatrist, too.
Mo messed up people? What's goin' on 'round here? Send yo' momma to the lunacy bin and get you and yo' sista' outta Dodge! Start ovah!
My mom used to do a lot of the same stuff. in fact, i'm now in foster care because of it. they put her in a mental hospital for a couple days, the same days i was cause i had cuts all over my arm and i had tried to kill myself, and they diagnosed her as bipolar. i have recently been diahnosed as bipolar as well and i really think ur mom has it. yes, tell you psychiatrist and tell him i think shes bipolar and see what s/he says. Its a very common disease and millions go untreated and i know wht its like to have a mother like that. and if she is bipolar, and she gets on medicine, you'll be able to forgive her, eventually. oh, and see if she remebers doing half of it to yall. if she doesn't she is DEFINATELY bipolar!
you need to talk to your psychiatrist and talk to your school counselor. your mom needs some serious help before she hurts you or your sis. sounds like she has a couple of screws loose.
Yes Please tell your psychiatrist about this and see if they can refer her to anyone. Was she physically or sexually abused as a child? Wanting your dad to hit her sends up a red flag for me. Also, victims of past abuse project onto their loved ones in a really messed up way, then are all apologetic and loving afterwards. She may be bi-polar among other neuroses. You and your sister do not deserve that type of abuse, and I know there is nothing you did to make your mother treat you that way. Please talk to your psychiatrist and any other trusting adults you know. Have a safe place you can go if things become bad - like a friend or relatives house. Your mom is sick and needs help. Stay strong sweetie
yes tell your psychiatrist.......maybe they can contact people who can help you with your situation........i dont want to give bad advice in a difficult situation like this.........talk to your dad if you can ............try to stay united.........and have faith there is a solution to every problem....right now you need to find a way to get her to go to the doctor
Yes hun, you need to tell someone about what is going on. They may not be able to "help" your mom but they will help you and your little sister.
But you mom seems like she is depressed. Some people rage out when depressed.

No one can know without a thorough evaluation. But, I'll give you some links that might help you figure it out, & perhaps get her some help. (In the mean time, it sounds like you &/or your little sister may need protection from her.):

definately tell your psychiatrist what is hapening exactly the way you have explained it above as soon as possible. He/she will be able to help you and your mother. hope everything works out.
Baby this isn't your problem, it's your Dads. If he won't get your Mom the help she needs, then print this out and take it to a teacher/minister/therapist. They need to be made aware of what is going on.
She is abusing you and that is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Once the authorities step in she will get the help she needs. This needs to be done. Allowing this to go on will only hurt you and your sister down the line.
