Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my very drunk mother decided to run down the block naked, screaming at the top of her lungs, "She's trying to kill me!" as I followed behind her in my car, yelling for her to get in. 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, I was woken up at 11:30 am by my mother standing over my bed, screaming at me. I'm 30 years-old, married, and do not live with her. She broke into my house because I didn't answer my phone, because I'm sick and on prescription sleep meds. WTF? FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Today, while my friends were over, my mom took too many of her pills and walked around the house nude. She then bit me. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Today, my crazy drug-addict mother kicked me out of the house after siding with my crazy, drug-addict aunt, who'd just threatened to slit my throat. FML
Today, I got a knock on my door at 3 a.m. Turns out, if I ignore my mother long enough, she will assume I have died and will call the cops. FML
Today, while riding in the car with my mother, we got into an argument, at which point she pulled the vehicle over, took the key out of the ignition and used it to turn off the passenger airbag. She then continued driving in silence. FML
Today, I woke up with a high fever and hallucinations. I called for my mother, who after checking me, swore that I was just hungover from a night of partying, called me a "f*cking hedonist", and refused to help. FML

Well, to be fair, you kinda *were* trying to get her arrested. But only as a means to an end, not an end per se. And she deserved it anyway, so you did not deserve her reaction.

At least u avoided what could've happened :/ You were just looking out for her and being concerned about other ppl's safety. GJ! ;o

Good for you for calling 911. My mother is an alcoholic and I always wondered what I'd do if I knew she were driving drunk. You could have saved someone's life. And to some other people who've commented: While you're right that it doesn't make sense to think OP called the police except to get them to stop his mom, I think the idea is that the mom's acting as though his primary intention was to get her in trouble rather than to keep her people safe. I think it's just the way the story was phrased that made it kind of not make sense. Alternatively, it's possible that OP really *wasn't* trying to get her arrested. Driving while not fully conscious is a (very dangerous) side effect of a lot of sleeping pills. It could be that this was a not-really-her-fault kind of thing and that the plan was to get her help. Since she took "a bunch" though I doubt that's what happened.

You make a good point about the Mom misunderstanding her child's intentions. I had read this as a "Mom accused me of trying to get her arrested and I totally wasn't," which obviously doesn't make any sense. It makes a lot more sense if you think of it as a "Mom thought I was just being a jerk." Good call.

You did the right thing OP. You idiots saying it was his fault are incredibly stupid. He probably didn't realize until it was too late to stop her before she got into her car.

OP you did the right thing, the number of times I had to call the police for my best friend for exactly that reason...she was pissed at me at the time but now thanks me because if I hadn't have, she'd be dead. Don't listen to the twats who think it's "cool" to not go to the police, clearly they've never been in that situation or if they have been, they think that someone liking them is more important than that someone staying alive.
