My parent's have officially both fallen off the deep end. The good part is that I am 2,000 miles away from them, but since my sister is a serious drug addict that we never hear from- I feel this sense of responsibility for them.
My dad has decided that God (yes GOD) has given him permission to smoke marijuana daily for his pain/sickness. I'm not judging anyone who wants to smoke pot- but my dad is a "Christian", He is bipolar (which I think MJ is likely not good for the bp) and he literally buys the stuff from some guy while telling the guy all about Jesus. And yet, he sees nothing wrong with this.
*sigh*
I am not sure what has happened to my mother but it seems like an evil alien has come and invaded her body/mind. She has turned into the MOST bitter/hateful person I think I know. She has severe depression/GAD WILL NOT take medication because " it makes me feel weird" and then makes everyone else miserable around here.
Does depression sometimes show itself in someone being mean and bitter?
She is also a "Christian" and told me to tell God to have a "Merry F'n Christmas!"
She has almost become dillusional- I can have a conversation wtih her on the phone that is totally okay ( I have to walk on egg shells she is sooo sensitive) and then the next day, she will call me and tell me off for making her so upset (when she never acted upset the day before). She then will repeat things I "said" to her that I NEVER said.
She's done this to everyone in my family and now no one will speak to her- she has literally lost EVERY single last friend. She has ran everyone off and then sits and says, " Nobody cares about us.. everyone backstabs you."
It's getting bizarre.
She's attempted suicide twice in the last 15 months so I know she's depressed. She refuses counseling because "she doesn't need it".
My dad is hanging on to life by a thread- he was given 6 months in February but the man seems to be Lazarus.
It's the most chaotic, dysfunctional thing I've ever witnessed in all my life and yet they sit around saying how everyone else is going to hell for not being good Christians.
I am convinced they are both likely insane and they feed off each other- totally codependent and are rotting away in their existence.*BIGGER SIGH*
So my original question- does depression make you mean?
