Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. FML

Your mom needs some serious help, like I can't even believe that happened. That poor dog... Maybe get her to a doctor before something like this happens again...

This is one of my most horrifying things I've ever read. I'm so sorry.

What did that medication do? Unless hallucinations are common from something else she has often

Sounds like paranoid schizophrenia. But I'm not a doctor. She needs one like yesterday. Get her some help asap. Then follow up. I hope she gets better.

my mom stabbed herself when she was 19 because she thought Satan was in her. she has schizophrenia and cannot be off her meds. I'm sorry op, I know how it feels.

Call child protective services immediately. You need to get out of that house and away from that woman.

I don't even know how to react to this... what in the hell is wrong with her?

I can't believe people would actually vote YDI on this one… I'm really sorry you had to go through this OP.

Yeah, okay, she needs to be in a mental ward. I am 100% serious- she needs to be in a institution that can watch her around the clock and make sure she is taking her meds. If her illness is this severe, she needs to be where she will be monitored- she could have just as easily shot you OP. I can get you might not want to because she's your mother and you love her, but once a parent becomes a hazard to a child's life, they need outside help. You have obviously had the "you need to take your medication" talk before and she didn't listen. At this point she is a threat to your safety, as well as the safety of anyone around her. I am sorry that she shot your dog- I advise you make a choice to prevent a repeat at a higher cost.
