Title: My Mother Is A Creature
Post by: Ami on October 02, 2009, 09:05:14 AM

Last night, a word came to me--Creature. I thought I would fall down from the grief of it
Last year, my B told me he wanted to commit suicide.I didn't want him to commit suicide, of course BUT I also did not want him to be committed to a mental hospital if he didn't need to be.
 I told my M I did not want him "put away" if he didn't have to be. My M said COLDLY,"Well, *I* do."
 *I* would have had to give the evidence to put him in and I WOULDN"T.
Her voice was so cold, so uncaring of the gravity of what it would mean to my B to be put away.She did not care if he would be tied to a bed or whatever is done. I don't know.
I don't know if I am explaining myself. This is just one incident but it keeps coming to my mind.
There are thousands of others.

You are explaining yourself just fine, Ami.  The one thing about a board like this is we all get it.  A lot of explanation is not necessary.

I'm sorry you had to go through that!

Thanks ((((cgm)))). I have been reading other people's accounts of their NM's and I finally saw the truth. Thanks for your support!

((((((((((((((((Ami)))))))))))))))))))

I understood just exactly what you mean.  Mine i s the same way, and creature sounds just right for her.  A creature of habit, a creature of comfort. 

Mine would have acted just the same way in that situation, except she would be terrified of what the neighbors might think. What pathetic excuses for mothers.

Thank you ((((((Erin))))))

It is really a dawning of reality. There are so many instances. I could list one or a thousand. They are all the same. My NM ,also, can be "good" as yours just was.                        Ami
