Is it normal i record my mother

Hi you guys, started recording my ma today. Going to do it every day from now on and cut out the silent bits to preserve disk space. Attempting to put a court file against her, as I don't believe she is a suitable parent. I really wish I had recordings from earlier this week, but who am I kidding it is my mother after all and she wants me here for the next few months so will be lots of evidence.

The only problem is the father, he has custody of her too. I think for that though I can gather testimonials against him. I really am not too sure about that part, essentially I want my eldest sister to take custody of my youngest sister. Is 12 years difference. What you guys think?

    • I am recording my mothers interactions with my sister to demonstrate to the courts she is unsuitable to be parent. I'm hoping I can gather testimonials against the child's birth father so my eldest sister can take custody. Is it really that difficult?

        Yes, because you haven't even said what she's done. And you keep saying "the father" instead of "my father ". Is this your mother's dad or your dad...??? Also why are you there for a few months? I'm so confused... Is this your real mother or do you live with your mother's dad and she just happens to be there too or did the spacecraft finally reach it's destination a week late because it was supposed do do recordings of your mother then??? You left SO MUCH information out.

        • Does it matter what she has done, abuse is abuse none the less. The father should be indication enough it is not my father rather the father of the person in question. I referenced the father as having custody of her as well, I doubt I'd be trying to remove custody from an adult of who I'm trying to have custody revoked from. I don't know why I am here for a few months, she said needed help I don't know, I don't think it matters. This my mother is why I said my ma. Again not sure where her dad is coming into this, her dad is god knows where abused her physically as a child and that was it, her mom went into mental breakdown and she received a new daddy who is dead now. This is her house, and since I am here I figured I could collect evidence against her as I all ready filed a court claim once that fell through as it never made it to court. I don't mean to sound hostile but like:

          "I am recording my mothers interactions with my sister to demonstrate to the courts she is unsuitable to be parent."

          That's it, end of question. Is it normal, why down vote a clear explanation. It could be normal because if she is perceived to being abused then it is a noble thing to do. Or you could think she is your mother and you should talk to her why go to such drastic measures. Of which I would reply with further details. Like I said what do you think. I just don't know what is so hard about this. Should I just delete this?

            It does matter what she's done. For all we know you could be over reacting about nothing like that whiny bitch talking about how his mom buys the wrong cereal.

              Fair enough hypothesis, I'm very serious person by nature. The form of abuse in question is of the mental nature, manipulation, extreme fits of rage, shifting of responsibilities onto a 10 year, over dramatising issues to further influence the child.

              My lil sister is mentally handicapped so she doesn't react as people would like who put others down. They feel bad and so they want a reaction from someone else. My sister doesn't give a reaction unless she starts crying and then my mother just goes ten times more. Then goes oh I am so sorry makes her believe it was her fault but it is ok cause mommy is here now and then ten minutes later "what the hell are you doing" or "I am going to kill your pets", or something breaks and suddenly the value goes up "oh those were your favourite, well too bad now I can't afford new ones and it really is too bad cause I wanted surprise you on your birthday and have it apart of your outfit". She even knows what she is doing and does these things on purpose to manipulate her she has demonstrated awareness of her mental ailment directly to me in the past and I walked out it was sickening. I never knew she was self-aware of it, I thought maybe she was bi-polar but no my mom is just a sad little girl herself that just wants a friend and everything to go how she wants it to go. She treats my sister like a slave, she did it to my eldest as well to the point she believed her duty as a child was to care for my mother. I was lucky enough to pull her out of it, I lost a lot but she gained a new lease on life and I want to do the same for the youngest. She is the sweetest thing ever and she has never acted out around me or anyone, she suffers from anxiety, she can't talk because of how they raised her, she has the potential of independence but they baby her and she my sister manipulates them so she doesn't have to learn. It is not a healthy environment as she thinks she can just do nothing, but what will happen is she will need a personal assistant her whole life if she doesn't learn now and 10 is a scary age to not know as much as she doesn't know.

    How are your parents treating your sister? Are they physically abusing the baby? If not I don't think you should worry about anything and as I said focus on yourself. Get counselling for yourself cause everyone can see you have issues. After you get therapy for yourself then you can start focusing on others lives.
    It seems like all the abuse you speak of is verbal if you have to record it. I know that almost every family nowadays bad mouths each other. It's definitely not healthy.
    As for the child, she would eventually learn what she can, given her situation. Have you asked your elder sister for help or whether she wants or cares for this baby?

    • You have me up till "receive counselling for yourself" ... not sure what issues I have beyond PPD cause of my genetic disposition which has actually been under control lately so am perfectly fine. Thanks for your concern though. And yes it is verbal abuse, however it is all so manipulation. I understand all conversation is such a form however doing so purposefully for your happiness when it does not benefit the other is simply sinful. Not against the law either sure, but it is neglect none the less considering the side effects are: her not being able to talk, not being able to focus when needing to, general anxiety disorder, malcontent for making improvements. Which only leads to her being on ODSP when she is fully grown, in a group home being unable to take care of herself. They're robbing her of her independence for their temporary benefits. My eldest sister merely said to provide the information I've collected and we'll have a discussion at a later date. Naturally she cares for her, I don't have much emotion towards the child I don't know the child to be honest. I am not a very caring person, I simply have large amount of disdain for said irresponsible and reckless behaviour. My mother needs to grow up, otherwise she is going to die alone, with the only child that ever loved her sitting in a home unable to care for her because of what she did. Though she'll never show remorse for my mother lives in her own unique world of twisted reality that all ways seems to bend in her favour even when a dagger is plunged into her heart. While those younger unwilling to fight back receive the fallout. So unhealthy is an understatement at this point, and I would agree normal circumstances it would just be unfortunate like how me and my eldest sister were raised. Wasn't a crime, we were smart enough to look past it. My eldest sister is going to have a lot of problems when midlife hits though as she will be forced to face it all but I am confident she is strong enough to do so ... and at least she has family. I missed that notice lol. But my youngest as I said she just doesn't know, and everything is going to end real fast and she'll never fully comprehend why because she was never taught anything. She has been conditioned as a handicap person simply because of their incompetence.

    Stop hating your parents and focus on your own life.

    • I haven't seen my father since I was a kid, I left my mothers at very young age as she was not fit to raise a child. Then she had another which she now abuses. I'm not sure why my stories are so confusing to people. She is a disabled child and is going to end up in the system being unable to take care of herself without assistance because of their neglect, and abuse.
