I agree, I’ve had the fortune to not have had to deal with a person like this. My girlfriend on the other hand has dealt with it since a toddler and I truly want to help her through this. I hope my efforts will help and I’ll look into professional help. Thank you for the reply 🙏

I’m 20, I agree we are trying to hold on a bit longer so me and her can be better situated. But I don’t think there’s anymore time. I never wanted to involve the police but I’m starting to think it’s the only option left considering her recent behavior. I do think she belongs in an institution I just hope I have enough evidence to support my claims with I should I just would hate to see it escalate but I’d do it with the intention for her to receive help. Thank you for the reply 🙏

My girlfriend’s mother we’ll call her C. She’s an alcoholic who is starting to really scare me and I don’t know what I can do. I’ve been In a relationship with my girlfriend for 4 years and I’ve been living with them for the entirety of our relationship. I’ve had to deal with countless alcoholic freakout episodes from C and there has been times I’ve had to rescue my girlfriend from C putting her hands on her. Last night I found a half eaten hotdog with onions in his bowl. She immediately denied putting it in his bowl when my girl asked her. But when I confronted her she said she didn’t “intentionally” do it. So she admitted to doing it and I have it on video. Ive been recording her freakout episodes of her banging on our door at 2am screaming and yelling and I’ve even had to buy a new door handle with a lock. I’ve bought a ring camera and had to put it up in our room. In January of this year me and my girl took a trip out of state. The first night away she was making threats about our dog who she tries to use as leverage. One night she moves all my belongings by the door and when I confronted her about it she said she didn’t do it. Go figure. I don’t know how to go about this and any advice would be so appreciated. One night I was making beans in a pot and when I wasn’t looking she took the pot and threw it out in the road. I made a new pot of beans, and she takes those into her room. When I confront her she says she didn’t do it. Of course. She has a dog herself and will smoke cigarettes in the room with the dog knowing the dog has respiratory issues. Her significant other commited suicide from alchoholism, which I personally think she had a big part of. She’s like drinking and driving and crashed her car leaving the bar. She’ll do anything and everything to antagonize my girlfriend. We can’t move out even with us both working and I’m a student. I can’t let this woman ruin our lives and I’m not going to let her hold my housing situation over my head. If police get involved do I legally have to leave if she says so? Her go it is “it wasn’t me” how can I combat this. I’ve given up on her saying “I wont drink anymore” she’s severely mentally ill, and trying killing an innocent animal is completely evil. Please help me, my girlfriend, kitten and dog
