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...

So I'm reading this after watching a horror movie with something similar so I'm freaked out, also I'm very sorry about what happened to your dog and I'm sorry your mother is sick like that.

That wouldn't have happened if your dog had a gun as well. Seriously though if you knew your mom has mental issues why do you keep a gun in the house??

I hope you got your mum admitted into the hospital straight away. not only is she a danger to her self ,but shes also a danger to everyone esle.I'm so sorry to hear about your dog that is terrible that happened :/ when you mum gets out of the mental ward ,keep a very close eye on her and keep track of her mediction .even if it means you have to keep it on you ,and give it her yourself.

Jesus christ. Tie her up and get her to a psych ward. That is horrible.

That is a mega warning sign. Get out of the house immediately and get your mom some help before another horrible situation happens!

Wow, OP, that's literally the most horrible thing. She needs more medication and another kind of help as well.

First thing you need to do is get any guns out of the house. This time it was the dog, but next time it could be a neighbour or even you. Mental illness needs to be taken seriously. If you can, make sure she isn't ever left alone. Watch her taking her medication. Report this incident to a healthcare professional and let them advise you what to do. If you can't handle the responsibility then you need to seriously consider having her placed in a group home where all of her needs will be taken care of.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Why is there a gun in the same house as someone with serious mental issues??

Well, everyone knows that if you don't pay your exorcist bill, you get repossessed. ;-/
