I just turned 18, and I recently moved back to where my mom, stepdad, and 2 brothers live. (I was living w/ my real dad, but things didn't work.) Everything was great for the first week or so, but my mom's real side started showing. She is always in a bad mood, belittles everyone around her, and seems to get addicted to anything she uses (caffeine, junk food, even antacids, orajel, and lotion!) The only thing she talks about is how much she hates her job, how much her feet hurt, and money problems. I know I sound unsympathetic, but I tried to help her work through it, but she won't talk to anyone, won't express any feelings except anger/disgust with everything. She really creates her own misery though, like not switching jobs, she blew up her car from driving wreclessly, and the list goes on. There's not enough char. to explain it all, but I would like to hear other opinions on how to deal with a bipolar person who refuses to get help. What do I do?
