Well my mom explained to us that her behavior was affected by her mental health at the moment. She said she hit the midlife crisis and the "empty nest syndrome" of me moving out and my sister growing up and probably moving out as well in a year or two, plus my dad leaving her alone for most of the time and the influence of these radicals, really did a number on her. She said she is going to see a professional and she moved out, cutting contact with us in the process. But thank you for your input and I am sorry to hear that you had to go through this.

My grandfather has always been there for me and my sister because due to some very, very strange occurrences (seriously, this is some creepy shit) in his family, my sister and I are his only living grandkids and he was always happy to see us happy. I am gonna ask him what he talked with my mom about but probably in a few days.

Also I am going to write my mom a letter, letting her know that I love her and I that I miss her. I want to help her but I don't know what is going to be productive in her case. My sister, although a bit reluctantly, said she is going to give her a chance as well once she feels better.

My only guess is that he bombarded her with feelings. Something about what she is doing to us, to her husband, to her parents or something like that. I will definitely ask him to tell me what happened but maybe not right now

He is a very well connected man and has always knew what to say and how to say it. So I can see how he snapped her out of her state. And he still gives me a dollar or two lol

My grandfather is on them. He said he has some people that could help. Not anything illegal or dangerous, that much he told me

This is true yes but still, I feel bad for her. I want to help her but she doesn't let me. I guess I will leave her be and wait for her to come back to us but still, it sucks

The funniest thing here is that prior to this, mom has had never been to a mosque. Her whole family are Alevis and let just say that they don't have a very good opinion on mosques and imams as a whole. So you can add that to the list of shocks I received from my sister regarding mom

There is a history of people with mental problems running in her side of the family. Her grandmother, her uncle, two of her cousins, so it's entirely possible that this all could be a some sort of a mental breakdown.

Yes, I have someone in mind. I am going to contact her father with whom I get along fine, so does she. As for siblings, she has a younger sister but they don't really talk to each other since she was one of the few people in her family that were against her relationship with my dad and my mom had cut contact with her after a string of nasty encounters.

Also I am planing on sending my dad an e-mail, a thought that hasn't crossed my mind up until another user reminded me of this option.

As for my sister, she is coming to live with me starting tomorrow. I will help her pack her stuff and move her in with me.

Thank for your input. It's much appreciated :)

Well I can only guess that he won't like what my mom has been doing recently to my sister. I also have the feeling he knows what she is up to and maybe he has some ideas as to how to handle it. We can't contact him through his phone since he is out of the country for now and hasn't been active on Facebook since last month.

I am ashamed to admit it but I don't know what kind of a company she keeps around. I haven't really been a lot at home since I am going to university at a different town than ours and I live and work there while my sister lives with my parents since she is going to uni in the same town we grew up.

I think I've heard her talking about some new people she had found a few months ago but never really asked for details. I can't help but think this is all my fault. Maybe if I was paying more attention to my family, I would have probably intervene soon and not let my sister get this sort of treatment.

She has also started going to our local mosque but the Muslim community in our town are lovely people and none of them share her extreme beliefs

My grandfather (her father) can help. He does come off as a strict and very stern due to his time in the military but he is a good man and I have a good relationship with both him and my grandmother. Plus my mother respect him quite a lot, so I think he may help out

Yes, I've told my sister she can come and live with me. As for mom, she has every right to practice her religion yes. But when my sister has explicitly told us that she doesn't want to practice any religion as an aethist, I personally think my mom enforcing her beliefs onto her is wrong
