I'm new here, so let me share my experience
I'm (20F) Autistic and currently live on the same property as my Bipolar 1 Mother (57F), and growing up with her was a living hell. If you ever watched the movie Tangled or have just seen the villain of said film, she was her cranked up to 11. she always made up stories about how Both I and the world were dangerous and the best way to keep me safe was locking me in the house (unless I had to go to school, Dr's, etc) for the majority of my life. she also was (and still is) very vindictive. she can't use technology for shit, but would gladly shut the power off if I so dared to "Talk Back" to her. she would also occasionally be physical when Really manic, once faking a minor injury (her justification was that she was on blood thinners) just so she could beat me up and claim self defense. police came that day and never penalized her.
she also sent me away to mental hospitals multiple times for "severe manic episodes", when in reality I was having sensory overload from a sunburn or from her being a flat out jerk to me. and the worst part is that she faked my symptoms to my first psycologist, and I had the fake bipolar diagnosis for over 15 years just so she could force me to take the drug Lithium Carbonate, which destroyed my body in the long run (I gained so much weight I was considered obese for the majority of my life, I can't go 1 day without drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day, etc.), and made my emotional symptoms worse. she is still convinced I once had bipolar disorder to this day. Now I currently have the aforementioned autism, C-PTSD, and GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) that I am currently seeing a therapist for.
Recently she has stopped taking her usual medication due to other health problems, and has lost her mind. she had a fight with my dad right in front of me and I sided with my dad as she was being a jerk to him. She claimed we were "emotionally abusing" her and stormed out of the house. that afternoon she went into my living space (a mobile trailer home on our shared 5 acre property) and trashed the place to get on my nerves. the next day when my dad went to the grocery store, my mom called me names like "Lazy", " Ungrateful", "Stupid", and more to irritate me, than threatened to kick me out (I do have a job but don't make enough to live on my own), knowing all those words are triggering for me. and that sent me into a blind rage. I don't remember much during that period other than a scream and a impact sound, but the last I remember after I blacked out was being driven to the ER by a police officer. apparently she called the cops on me to try and get me arrested for attempted murder, and used already existing marks on the door from a prior paint job to justify it. the cops didn't believe her and never put anything on my criminal record, but now she's trying to file a PFA order against both me and my father for conspiring to kill her for her money, which is not true in the slightest. I immediately filed one against her too because I'm done with her and her petty bullshit. once this is over, I'm moving out with my dad and he's going to file a divorce against her.
I'm just hoping that in the future, I can maybe have a more distanced yet platonic relationship with her, but in the meantime I just want space for the sake of my mental health and her sanity.
