Need Advice

I will not get into deep details on this. Myself and my mom (I am now 21, not living with her) have always had issues. She is not married and never was married to my father. Ever since her brother (my uncle) passed away her depression has gotten way out of control. My grandpa literally takes her to work each day, the house is a mess and smells like urine, and to top it off she has now gone to social media to bash others' believes and lives just for having opposing views (step parenting, etc). In the past she has threatened suicide though has never acted on them.

She refuses voluntary help due to the fact they are blatantly honest on what she needs to do in life to get better. At this point in time I believe there is no other option but to report her condition to DHS.

Any suggestions???

Sometimes as adults we need to do things that save other people. The other person will not like the action. They will say nasty hurtful things to you. Know that this is the illness and/or addiction talking, not their heart.

As for the home, at 21 what is stopping you from cleaning? It may just help get rid of some of your frustration while you deal with this situation. We call it scrubbing it out!

Keep posting we are here to support and listen the best we can. Know that you are not alone.

OH, so there is hoarding going on at the same time. Well while she is in getting treatment, I am sure she will be seen as a harm to herself from what you say; you can get some of the stuff carted away from the home.

Hang in there, you are not alone, we are here for you. Also, there are support people out there for you. Where ever your Mom goes for help there will be a case worker or social worker that can hook you up with community services to support you.
