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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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...

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

She needs to be admitted to a mental facility and gets the help she needs. I can't believe that she shot your dog. The poor dog. She needs help ASAP

That poor dog, you must feel so bad OP. Unfortunately this is all too common with people with mental illness, who can't seem to comprehend that the reason they feel better is because of the medication, and feeling better isn't a reason for stopping it. I hope she gets the help she needs and nothing like this ever happens again.

I'm afraid that your mum sounds like she is currently a risk to others and herself. She really needs to be taken somewhere she is safe and will get the treatment she needs.

Somebody should keep an eye on her at all times and makes sure she takes her medicine before she does something worse.

If anyone clicks "you deserve it", you deserve to be shot...

I hope they are clicking it by mistake. Only an asshole would actually think OP deserved having their dog killed by their psychotic mother.

And unfortunately, there are a lot of assholes in the world. Especially when they're on the internet.

Yes, let us kill 802 (as of now) people because they clicked a button that is ostensibly of no consequence. That looks like the sane response.

I already saw a couple YDIs in the comments. I even make a long reply on one of them by saying how no one deserves this, but my reply got deleted (along with several other replies defending the OP). It goes to show how terrible humans can truly be.

Holy shit, you DEFINITELY need to get her back on that medication and fast. Who knows what she'll do next.

So how the **** did she get a hold of a gun?

I am so sorry, my mom is manic depressive so even medicated severe emotions set her off like a death in the family.It is hard knowing she loves you but her chemically imbalanced brain makes her do things that would seem otherwise.Hopefully she forgets about it like my mom does once she is medicated again and you can move on.Just remember she loves you and that is not her doing these things

The phrase "personal responsibility" comes to mind. Or are people who refuse to take their antipsychotics free of any guilt? No, really. Serious question.

It could be that the mom forgot to take it or the hallucinations weren't completely opressed. You have to take into account that there are major side effects to antipsychotics, which makes it very hard to deal with. Sometimes the cons of taking it outweigh to pros. Just something to consider
