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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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...

How do you not know your mentally ill mother has access to firearms? Do you not know about the venomous snake she's keeping too?

Your mom needs serious help. BTW is your dog okay?

Not only do you need to make sure she gets help, but it would be a very good idea to prevent her access to the firearm, as well. ?

Try to get her hospitalized, OP. She's clearly a danger to others. It could have easily been a person she thought was possessed. If the gun is in your house, then get it out. Guns and mental illness just don't mix. Even if they are locked up. I'm sorry about your dog and about your mom. Mental illness is a horrible thing.

Why is a gun not locked up when there's a mentally unstable person in the house. If there all hers call the cops or a friend to have them removed. Friend first.

Jeffery Dahmer started off that way. He believed his neighbors dog was possessed by the devil.
