I just got home from the hospital, my sister hasn’t been released as she has to be evaluated for another few hours but I just feel so incredibly angry at her.
I got off work today around 2pm, my mum immediately begins telling me that my younger brother had just called her and told her my sister had punched a hole in the wall in a very visible place (we live in a strict rental and we have an inspection due soon which could get us in a lot of trouble)
She was originally suppose to pick my brother up an hour earlier from work but decided not to without telling anyone, my mum even gave her fuel money as she complained about not having fuel, he ended up having to call our dad to come pick him up and take him home, my dad doesn’t live with us and my parents recently separated so this is abit complicated in itself.
They then got into an argument when he got home which she then proceeded to get into an argument with her boyfriend who was at our house because he didn’t defend her against our brother, hit him and then when my brother yelled at her for that, she stormed into her room and punched a hole in the wall.
As is expected, my mum was extremely angry and frustrated as my sister has had a long history of aggression and violence not only in general but to the point where she attacks us over small things like “giving her a dirty look”when in reality we’re simply just looking in her direction or at her for a few seconds. My mum decided to take her car keys as she’s only 17, she doesn’t even have her Ps so she can’t even drive without a parent which she doesn’t anyway and my mum is tired of her aggression and entitlement.
This caused a big argument where my sister was sobbing and yelling at my mum to give her keys back and that it’s her car (it’s not, my mum paid for it and it’s registered under her name, as well as my sister being a minor). She proceeded to back my mum against a wall trying to get her keys and my mum ended up leaving the house to go cool off and think while my sister continued to scream at everyone left in the house but she eventually calmed down and was even playing games with my brother who was the one she was originally fighting with.
I decided, since it had calmed down and I just got home from work and was tired from being awake and working since 4:30 am, that I would take a small nap in my mums bedroom since she had air-conditioning and it’s beginning of summer in Australia.
About an hour later, I woke up to my mum and sister infront of me arguing, my sister was lunging at my mum, trying to find her keys and grabbing at her, my mum then pushed her hands away and told her to stop. My sister then snapped and the best way I can describe her flip in behaviour is just turning completely feral, jumping at my mum and attacking her my swinging punches at my mothers head.
I didn’t even have a second to fully wake up before I jumped up and managed to reach my sister, the closest thing I could grab was a hand full of her hair which I pulled back to get her off my mum, who was covering her face with her arms trying to shield herself. My sister then turned to me and began attacking me, punching my in the head multiple times before my mum got between us, she then went back to attacking my mum in an attempt to get to me.
My mum was sobbing at this point and I was trying to get between them because I wanted to protect my mum, I had no intention of attacking my sister back, I was simply just in defence mode and wanted to protect my mum.
My brother comes in hearing the commotion and tried to pull my sister away from us, thinking my mum hit her. My mum took the chance to walk outside and call my dad while in tears, begging him to come help because she was scared and also extremely upset that my sister had not only attacked her but me too.
( I should mention that her boyfriend had left right before I went to nap however she acts nearly as aggressive towards us and him even when he’s around. )
My sister then locked herself in her room and was crying loudly and I could hear her on the phone to her boyfriend while I sat outside with my mum waiting for my dad. He arrived around 15 minutes later and went to speak to my sister but then calls out not even a few minutes later saying she had taken a bunch of pills. My sister has back issues due to mild scoliosis and hip dis-function and had been prescribed heavy muscle relaxants. She had taken around half a packet of them as well as some other high dose pain killers and was sitting on the ground quietly, refusing to get up as I ran over to help my dad get her to move.
We eventually got her in the car and my dad speed her to hospital and my brother, mother and I left only a few minutes later.
We were all in tears, my mum was screaming and crying after my dad had left and I had collapsed onto the floor crying, when we got to the hospital I ran straight to the emergency room where my sister and dad were. It wasn’t even a 20 minute drive however when I got there, she was completely calm. Complete opposite of how she was just 20 minutes ago and even was cracking jokes while the doctors looked over her.
She was taking videos of herself, sending them to my mum as we waited for her as only one of us could go in with her at first and she chose my dad. She was posting videos of herself with IVs in her arms on her Instagram and had people calling her while she didn’t answer and constantly checking her phone, even scrolling reels.
She ended up being given charcoal and was laughing and joking, didn’t want to drink it because it tasted gross, entirely unaware of just how serious the situation was. She finally, after an hour or so finished drinking it after the doctors as well as my family told her that it was either drink the charcoal or get her stomach pumped. The entire time she just seemed so uncaring of just how serious everything was, how upset we all were and as if everything was suddenly fine again. Her behaviour was so strange and I just can’t help but feel so angry at her.
I’m angry she attacked me, that she attacked my mother, that she doesn’t care how upset we all are and that she treated the entire ordeal as a joke or something to post about for sympathy. My mum thinks she has BPD which I should mention my father has been diagnosed with as well as bipolar.
The doctors didn’t seem to care, my parents wanted to admit her as she’s a danger to herself and others. It’s not the first time she’s nearly killed herself and not cared however this was the first time it was intended. They refused to admit her, just proscribed her counselling and told us to handle her medication.
I’m scared for her, I feel horrible and I’m so worried but the most prominent emotion I feel right now it’s just pure rage at her. There’s clearly a deep mental issue at hand with her and doctors don’t seem to care nor does she.
