My mother is being very difficult. She acts five years old. She took my meds away first of all. She doesn’t give me the right amount. Today there was an argument. She called me antagonistic. I think it’s the other way around but whatever. She wants to control my meds but she doesn’t give me the right dowses ever! So I told her I needed a certain medication And she said fine I’ll just drug you up. She acts like a five year old like I’m going to care. But I really don’t. If you want to take care of it, do it right then.

      @Chloex they would act like everything is fine and they wouldn’t be able to see anything wrong. My mom and dad put on a front when we go to the dr

      I think she’s dealing with pain in her own way. It probably hurts her that you have to take meds in the first place hence the “fine I’ll just drug you up” thing that you mentioned. Her way of “coping” with the situation is to be angry and controlling. I wouldn’t take it personally when she snaps at you. Maybe have a talk with her if that’s possible? I don’t know the entire situation so make decisions on your own accord

      If you have the option on your health portal to send a message to your doctor, send a message prior to your appointment asking them to ask your mother to leave or not allow her in the room for the appointment.

      If your of legal age, she shouldn't be doing that 😳 talk to your doctor about that and write it down for evidence.

      I agree with other posters to speak with your doctor and your mom together on a phone conference so your mom understands the proper doses for all your medications

      She goes to my dr appts with me so I feel trapped. And my friend sent me a link to this website to report abuse that was a few days ago and nothing happened so I feel stuck. She uses being in a nursing home as a threat. She took my money so I don’t have anything. And I feel I’m being gaslighted and nobody I know will believe me and take her side. My dad already does.

        @RedandBlackFan does your mother have to assist you to the restroom? If not, try excusing yourself for the bathroom and go speak to someone. I would also look up other ways to secretly report abuse online. You deserve to be treated fairly and receive proper medication

        @RedandBlackFan my best advice for you is to confide in your doctor about what your mother is doing. This is unhealthy and extremely unsafe.

          @Chloex she and my dad have them fooled they say “their helping me not take top much. So nobody listen to me. I feel hopeless

      I'm so sorry. I struggle with my mother too, as well as other relationships. I hope you find peace and resolution. Be careful, consistency is important with your meds and anyone that messes with that is not helping.

      That seems very unsafe. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about this.
