I'm going to hie myself off to work-I want to go by the office of a friend and former co-worker of mine who now has a private counseling practice and ask her some questions-I heard the same story of the loon's break with reality on Saturday night from both her son and Charles Manson eyes, almost word for word. I can't believe that two people would make up bizarre stuff like that, especially when one is a 17 year old horrified and disgusted by what his mother said and did. From that and our own dealings with her on Saturday night, hubby and I think she is a danger to herself and others and needs to be convinced to commit herself to a psychological/psychiatric facility if at all possible. I want to ask my friend what recourse there is if she refuses to go voluntarily, because this has gone beyond the merely annoying-she physically attacked both her son and her fiance with a piece of broken glass in front of me, hubby and another neighbor, then tried to attack her fiance's horse with the same shard of glass. She also stabbed herself in the wrist and arm with it when her son and fiance tried to restrain her. I think she has had a major psychotic episode and it is not getting better-there is likely to be someone seriously injured if some drastic action is not taken.
Good grief. If she won't voluntarily commit herself I suggest a call to the police and let a judge commit her for observation.
so sounds like charley manson eyes isn't the problem in that relationship. she is a nut and needs to be in a nuthouse.
