Today, I found out my mom recently stopped taking her medication. I came home to find she'd shot my dog because she thought he was possessed by the devil. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my mom was in a really bad mood, so I stayed in my room to avoid her. It didn't take long before she barged in and started bitching about my dog, who'd pissed her off by acting too happy. Yes, she's actually that insane, and I have to deal with it on a daily basis. FML
Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML
Today, I was awoken by a conversation my mom was having with my dog upstairs. She was telling my dog that a ghost lives in our house. She was completely serious. The ghost even has a name and a backstory. FML
Today, my dog nearly died when my mom fed him chocolate. After finding out dogs are not supposed to eat chocolate, she promptly grounded me for not telling her. FML
Today, while I took my dog out, my mother began to cook, took a Xanax, locked the doors, and passed out. When I managed to get in, I called the paramedics because she was in the smoke for at least an hour. When she became conscious, she blamed me for everything. FML
Today, my mother called me at work, freaking out about my dog, so I panicked. What was wrong? He had a hard-on and she'd never seen that happen before. FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML

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...

1. Why would you have weapons in a home where a person with mental problems lives? 2. Quebec and guns....... I want to believe you. But hey....

I… I don't think a simple medication regimen is going to help her as much as we'd all like. When it's that bad, I'd imagine it just makes her tolerable to be around. At least your pooch didn't suffer.

Get out. Your mom needs help, serious help. That poor dog.

This is horrible. Poor OP. Poor dog. I can't help but wonder how old the OP is, and if they and their mother are the only ones in the house. If they're a teenager, or there's a second adult in charge, whether or not guns were in the house wouldn't be up to the OP, and they likely wouldn't be in charge of their mother's care when her mental state was compromised. Even if OP is an adult though, there is no way anyone should be clicking "ydi". Being the caretaker/guard of a severely ill person is no picnic, and as someone else said, you don't get a warning light for "no medication taken today!" with the diagnosis. The goal of most people with a mental illness is to live as normal a life as possible - so there's a fine line to walk between making sure they get the appropriate treatment, and nannying them so constantly that they rebel.
