Dear lybrate-user, Your mom seems to be suffering from a serious mental disorder. I don't know why, you have not taken her to a psychiatrist all these 3 years. Instead of suffering and your dad cooking, treat her illness and get back your mom. Most of the mental illnesses are treatable at an early stage. Now also it is not late. But the treatment may be for many years, even if she is not co operative. She may not be cooperative since she feels that she is behaving alright. You can discuss with psychiatrist how to treat her. If still you could not help her, get her online audio consultation. "The consultation is for your problems, she needs to help you. I can speak Tamil.

If I guess right, Your mother has sacrificed a lot for all of you but her expectations have not been fulfilled and she is irritable with the results she sees after all her hard work. She is more frustrated with her husband for not satisfying her needs and so is behaving in this peculiar erratic fashion. First treat her like a human being with needs. She has only been giving. Now she may want t receive too. Stop being selfish and cater to her needs. She will be back to normal.

Dear lybrate-user, I am concerned about the family dynamics from last 3 years. Your mother seems to suffer from a psychiatric disorder namely, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which is an anxiety disorder. She probably will need medications for the same based on the intensity of the problems. You need to visit a Psychiatrist for medications and a RCI registered Clinical Psychologist (not a Psychologist) for this clinical syndrome.
