By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

The Psychiatric head threw a fit at her. Demanded she take it back immediately or he would place her in a lock down unit asap. Point blank told her to knock off the sh*t or she would find herself in a straight jacket for the next two weeks.
she never pulled it again.
This is one time when the paramedics will not listen to the patient if they refuse to go to the hospital, that is why the police come too. If need be, she will be restrained, but off she will go.
Once she is in the hospital they have an obligation to do a mental health assessment. And you can tell the doctors she is not safe in her own home, that your Dad cannot cope with her any longer.
Perhaps if she is faced with the natural consequences of suicide threats, she will understand that that tactic will no longer work.
Full disclosure, we have had suicides in my family and it ticks me off to no end that anyone would threaten it in order to get their way. It is such an ugly thing to do to a family just to control them. The people in my family were in the depths of depression and truly felt they had no other options. It was not an idle threat to get attention.
Someone needs to put a stop to this, your kids are being effected in ways they can't understand or explain, you and dad can hardly cope, imagine what they are experiencing.
Please do what Tothill has adviced. Time to stop the insanity.
Stop walking around on eggshells with mother. If she's being an actress and says she's majorly depressed, tell her you'll call her doctor right away for some anti depressants and to set her up with a THERAPIST. That should FREAK her out suffiently to cut the crap, at least for the moment.If she threatens divorce, dad should tell her he's happy to call a lawyer for her immediately. If she's like my mother, she'll give you the silent treatment which is a huge BLESSING. Nobody can deal with these women effectively, but develop your own tips and tricks to disengage from the drama. As far as feeling bad for dad goes, remember....hes the ENABLER here and has helped create the monster!!! Maybe both of you can ignore her outbursts which she will hate. But if neither of you take the bait anymore, things may start to simmer down a bit. Hopefully. Remember.....disengage, don't take the bait, use sentences like That's unfortunate, I'm sorry you feel that way, get OUT of her sight asap, don't coddle her under ANY circumstances, and keep talking to dad about how BOTH of you need to be acting in unison with her......like we did with our kids.....present a United front.
One day at a time.....,sometimes one hour at a time, huh? Good luck!
Glad to see you not only survived the trauma but have figured out how to shut it down.
I tell my mom I'm not going there when she starts and she knows the next word that goes there, I leave or hang up.
Stay strong! Jumping out of the 1st floor window, that would actually be funny.
Next time she throws a fit and threatens to kill herself if she doesn't get her way. Tell her to shut up and get it done already.
That is just mind games manipulation and statistics prove that people that use it verbally don't do it. Even if they attempt it, it is nothing but superficial bs to get the attention they are seeking.
Sorry, I was raised with that crap and I think it is the worst thing you can ever use for childish, self centered temper tantrums and to control those around you. She needs a good spanking in my opinion. She doesn't deserve anything from anyone she tries to control with that. Nothing, nada!
I bet this isn't new behavior.
