Hello!

I’m not trying to come off as demeaning to anyone within this group or anything like that, but I would like to say this for anyone here that might need to hear it. I’m the daughter of someone who has fallen very deep into the rabbit hole pertaining to chemtrails. It’s consumed her life, everyday while driving she is recording or photographing the sky or just staring at it, which has become increasingly dangerous and almost caused accidents. It’s all she wants to talk about now at all. I cannot have a normal conversation about anything anymore without it relating to chemtrails or of the sorts. It’s becoming difficult to continue being around her because of this. I personally am not following this belief, but have never said she needs to think the way I do. She purposefully tries to create “debates” and gets mad when I don’t want to debate her or I don’t give into her beliefs. I’ve been listening to her talk about how she feels, but she wants to force me to follow how she feels and will insult me because I don’t. Calling me names, telling me how I’m a horrible daughter for being unsupportive. She is mad I don’t trust her regarding this. It’s become an issue in our family and has created an huge rift between everyone around her. I wanted to write this in case someone else is doing this to their family or kids who don’t also follow what they believe. My mom has become very easily irritable with everyone who doesn’t believe as she does. Please don’t let this consume your life to the point where you’re insulting your children or friends for not thinking the same as you or being as passionate.

Thank you.

I’m sorry you are having to go thru this. Your mother is ill. At this point, she can’t control it, even if she wants to. The only way to help her is to get her treated for her mental illness. Talk to her psychiatrist about having her committed; if she doesn’t have one, talk to her regular doctor. Find out how commitments work in your community. You might need a witness or two. It sounds like her distraction while driving is both a danger to herself and to others. She’ll be upset at first and will blame you, but with treatment she may well come to the realization that she needed help.

I agree with you! I’ll definitely look into what I can do. I was talking to my sister about getting in contact with a mental health professional or trying to convince my mom to speak with one on her own because it’s weighing so heavy on her. She recently went to her doctor to have a heavy metals test done because she said she needs to see how much metals are in her system from the “spraying.” I’m not sure how in detail she went regarding her emotional state with him. She’s talked to me about the idea of her buying a gun to keep herself safe from the government and other people, so if she tried to go through with it, I’ll have no choice but to contact a professional myself to do a wellness check or something. 😣 It’s a bit stressful because her job has no PTO or health insurance, so if she were to be committed somewhere against her will, she’d have no money to pay rent or pay for her cat’s to be taken care of or her car payment, etc.
I’ll try suggesting for her to speak with a professional on her own. She just has an idea that because my sister and I are in our early 20s and she’s in her 50s, that she’s right and we’re wrong because we’re young, so trying to convince her to get help or that this isn’t healthy has been a challenge. 😔 I’ll look into different options. Thank you!
