    Why not get some video evidence of your mum taking your tablets? Set up a hidden camera when she next comes round.

    Then confront her, and if she denies it, show her the video evidence and tell her she is never welcome in your house again?

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    You mustn't let it. You KNOW what to do. Like others have said talk to your boyfriend - you'll need him if you start to wobble.

    Sorry but this sounds as real as your other threads that never have an ending.

    As soon as I started reading I thought the poster was familiar.
  • I find this very confusing.
    If your mum cane round and took your tablets. Why would you then give her the opportunity to take the replacement tablets. The first thing I would do is hide them away.
    And doesn't your GP think it's a bit strange to have to replace them twice.

    Your mum comes round and upsets you - but you see no problem letting her back round for a second go?

    She is a nightmare but somehow has a great relationship with your ex. Your ex is very easily swayed and gets back in touch with you on her say-so but then doesn't listen to you when you say that you are living with your boyfriend?

    Your boyfriend comes home and asks how your day was and you don't say that you had a traumatic conversation with your mum and she took your tablets and that you had to get them replaced?

    People believe this as real, give you advice which you then ignore and keep asking the same thing.

    Well I find this incredibly hard to believe.

    Cut her off, refuse / block her calls, refuse her entry.
    Hide your medication
    Tell your boyfriend, and have him block her calls as well.
    If the ex contact you again tell him a final no and that any further contact will result in a formal complaint to the police for harrassment.

    If your dad queries any of this, explain exactly what's going on and how you will not tolerate it any more.

    You have had the correct advice already above, question is, are you going to follow it? End of the day, only you can sort this out by growing up and insisting your mum treats you as an adult. Which means you need to act like one. You don't need to lose her from your life, just let her know that if she wants to stay in your life then she needs to treat you with respect.

    Just to add, I've realised that I saw your previous thread last year and I really think that if you play the victim then you become the victim.


    Stand tall, be strong. The only person who needs to look after you is YOU.

    Name and shame those who are sending you the nasty messages.

    If there are any that is.

    This supposedly happened with another one of your threads.
