Does mom often confuse many things and make a single thing out of them? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

When I was young, I didn't understand things. Due to my personality and family reasons, I haven't gone home for nearly ten years, and my parents' relationship has never been very good. Now I've gone home, my parents are divorced.

My mother often confuses many things and makes them into one thing. She thinks everyone in her hometown is a bad person, and some relatively minor things and conflicts are infinitely magnified. And she also has some fantasies.

It feels a bit like paranoid delusions. Now, whenever she meets someone, she just goes on and on about how my family, my father, and all the other people he feels sorry for have wronged her! It's okay with me, but over the years, I've never known what really happened to her at home. Some things she said are just unbelievable, but there must still be some reason why she is like this.

Now I don't know how to adjust her psychological state. For example, if she imagines something, should I expose her or just go along with her?

It sounds like you're in a tough spot with your mom's state of mind. It's really hard when someone you love is struggling and you're not sure how to help. Maybe it would be beneficial to gently encourage her to seek professional help. A therapist could provide the support she needs.

Finding out that your parents are divorced after being away for so long must have been quite a shock. It seems like there's a lot of unresolved pain for your mother. Perhaps listening to her without judgment, while also setting boundaries, can be a way to support her. At the same time, guiding her towards professional resources might be necessary.

Supporting someone who may be experiencing paranoia is challenging. It's important to maintain a compassionate approach while also considering her safety and wellbeing. Encouraging her to talk to a mental health professional could be a step in the right direction. Just being there as a stable presence might mean a lot to her.
