Does any sort mental illness run in the family? Was she maybe  sexually abused by somebody not in the family?

If she gets psychotic then she truly is not all here. There isn't anything you can do. Hopefully she is aware of reality enough.to help herself.


The hard question: could drugs be causing psychosis?


Either way, you are but an innocent mom with love on her heart being mistreated by her child. Her therapist only knows the lies she tells...although if she is psychotic she may believe it really happened.


You can best care for yourself and your child by being good to YOU. There is nothing you can do to change anyone else, including your grown child

The only person you can change is yourself and your reaction to your adult child abuse and illness. Have pride. Stand strong. You didn't do anything wrong, even if adult child lies and says you abuse.you may choose not to listen to abuse. Just because this is your adult child doesn't mean you have to listen to any type of abuse from anybody. If you wouldn't let your spouse treat you that way, then its unhealthy for you and your child when you allow it.


Hugs for your hurting heart.
