Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML

You're a moron, she has a point. If you wanted to protect her, maybe you should have tried to stop her from getting into her car. Offered to go and do whatever she was going to do, or drive her there. Clearly you were free to get into your car and follow so you werent busy. She has a valid point, your actions show that you were trying to get your mom arrested, not trying to protect her... so welllll obviously! you deserve it!

Apparently, you're the moron. What makes you think that he didn't try to stop her? If she couldn't reason enough to see that it was not a good idea to go driving, she was obviously going to refuse his offer to drive her wherever she wanted to go.

The hell I would get into a car with someone looped on sleeping pills!

I posted this above as well but Perhaps it was something like this: 1. Mom takes a bunch of sleeping pills and heads off to her room 2. OP heads to their own room or somewhere similar 3. OP hears a door open and close and makes it to a window just in time to see mom pulling out of the driveway. 4. OP runs for their own car and follows mom.

and also, OP's mom could just be physically bigger and stronger, and could've easily pushed or shoved him out the way.

She will probably start talking to you when she needs something. ( thats how those types of people work)

Buy your own taser and keep the cops out of it. Next time mom wants to do some drugged out driving, drop her with a nice jolt and roll her back into the house.

Same thing happened to me, with my dad. He kicked me out of the house. I feel your pain.

that's tough love, you're a good son/daughter who cares.....

Is your mom depressed? Was that a plan, or a cry for help or something, or just a moment where reason slipped her mind? Because really, "you're trying to get me arrested" - that sounds like the kind of logic someone depressed would use. She needs help, and she's irrationally angry with you. Even though she is upset with you, you did the right thing.

I know theres a lot of thing you can't do about your mom, because she's your mom. You might of saved her life and someone else's by calling 911. If you really loves you, she'll talk to you, but dang, she needs professional help. Otherwise, if you have money move on, no offense, you will be doing yourself a favor

You did the right thing, OP. You might have saved lives.

Well, you *were* trying to get her arrested. What did you think would happen? It was out of concern; you'd rather have her arrested than dead. But maybe say something before she leaves the house next time. Maybe warn her that you're going to follow her if she does. Or hell, just offer to give her a ride.
