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...

Get her a doctor? More like get her committed. Holy fuck.

before she shoots OP for conspiring against her

Yeah, she should get help immediately. Next time it could be Op or a neighbor, or just anybody op's mom thinks is possessed. And maybe not leave weapons at the mom's disposal.

I agree with 15. She needs to be committed. I mean honestly, if she's to the point that she's delusional enough to shoot a dog, who's to say she wouldn't do it to a person. For her own safety, it would be best to put her in a place where there could be 24/7 supervision.

Especially if she has access to firearms in Canada.

Call a doctor. Immediately.

Firstly, you should lock up your weapons including knives. Then get her immediate medical attention. Hire a cleaning company as well so you won't have to go through the anguish of cleaning it up... Sorry OP.

Definitely, she does not need to have access to a gun.

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

I broke into tears from reading this... I just can't imagine that horrible image of one of my dogs, or any dog for that matter, being fucking SHOT to death... I can only hope that the poor dog didn't die slowly in pain...

What illness does she have?

a severe one.

I would assume schizophrenia

I would probably go for paranoid or demonic schizophrenia

OP's mother is most likely has paranoia schizophrenia :/

Scooby Dooby Doo, I shot you...

Lmfao! I laughed just a little too hard at this.

You all are going to hell.

If hell existed

I laughed even though I shouldn't have

I'm already in hell. But thank you.

38, please don't be that guy/girl.

I already felt guilty writing it, but I couldn't delete it any more afterwards. :x

he's not that guy, he's nonexistent.

negetive votes? come on people, it's a joke not a dick, so don't take it so hard.

xD I just died

Are you alright?

Before you follow this up, get her help. like now!

How was it that a mentally ill person had access to a gun? Thank god she didnt think you were possessed by a devil. YDI

They're saying OP observed it because their mother managed to have access to a weapon when she has mental issues. That's just not right and extremely dangerous.

There's no way OP deserved this. No one knows if the gun was even in their house or if they even owned it. Mentally ill people especially that extreme can be completely unpredictable. There was nothing OP could've done. Even if she didn't have a gun who's to say the mom still wouldn't have went after the dog with a knife or her bare hands?

To be fair, OP thought she was still on her meds.

The mother stopped takimg her medication. This is on her due to that.

My uncle is schizophrenic. When he turned 50 he got dementia and his meds stopped being as effective. We didn't know until he tried to kill himself with a pop can. We didn't know because that's not how mental illness always works. He didn't have a flashing sign saying "meds not working" over his head, and he's smart enough to know how to hide it. When he was healthy, there were no concerns. When the meds didn't work, it didn't matter if there were weapons around, he'd find a way to hurt himself or others if that was what his mind chose.

Speaking from personal experience I know for a fact that you're completely right, we're not in control of our faculties when at our worst, we're dealing with anti psychotics not pain meds we don't shout or rush to tell someone when they stop working because for once out hallucinations are thinking clearly now the fogginess of sedation has lifted

If you seriously think that OP deserves her dog to be shot all because her mom had access to a gun (which wouldn't have mattered anyway because she would've found another way to kill the dog), then there's something really wrong with you! Nobody deserves their dog to be shot! Who in their sane mind would even think that?! And I can't believe you got up voted over 30 times for saying she deserved it!

I'm thinking they said ydi because the mother somehow had access to a weapon. Other than that, the OP definitely does not deserve it.

How do you know she would have killed the dog in a different way? If she thought it was possessed she might have locked the dog away and hid from it if she didn't have a gun. OP doesn't deserve having their dog die, but on or off medication, she should not have had access to a gun. If she went out and found one herself, that's a different thing, but if she's that paranoid, why would she?

This should be reported to the police not fmylife.com.

Yeah this is contacting the police/mental hospital time. it's only a matter of time before she kills someone.

perhaps op already has but still felt they needed to vent and get this off their system.

I think her doctor would be most appropriate. Police don't exactly have the best record when it comes to dealing with people with mental disabilities.

I'm going to guess your dog didn't make it, my sincerest condolences.
