But have you had her evaluated by a mental health professional? Something is causing her erratic behavior, and it needs to be addressed and corrected. Even if it was your mothers idea to live apart for the sake of all of the children’s’ education, it doesn’t mean she’s automatically happy or content with it. Please, please, please…have her evaluated to rule out a chemical imbalance or manic depression. Maybe her bp meds and sleeping pills need to be adjusted as well. I can understand your frustration as well, but try to switch tracks and be a little empathic towards her as well. If she truly is unwell, and there is an underlying reason for her mood swings, then she needs help!
And if turns out that she doesn’t have a depression or bipolar disorder and is just being difficult, then I suggest maybe you talk a counselor yourself just to learn some coping mechanisms, and to hide your time until you get married and start your own life.
Good Luck! I hope thing settle down for your family.
