My friend is going through mental abuse at home from his mother
This post is going to be a little long however, I wish to have some suggestions and legal advice as a close friend of mine is going through a lot of mental abuse and manipulation in the hands of his mother.
They belong from Pune currently staying at Dahisar, Mumbai and his parents divorced when he was a 5 year old, as per his words his mother had been the best and took all efforts to bring him up at times even working at far off places. However, since 2012 her nature has changed by 180 degrees and she has been monitoring and controlling every movement of his including who he is friends with and who he hangs out with. My friend has no one called family so friends are his only way out to have people to rely on. But his mother creates such scenarios and insults them to the point that they become bound to leave him. She has openly said that she will forever control his life and never let anyone else come near him as she is his mother and he should always pay attention to her and her only!
Not only that, she is never perpetually satisfied with all he does for her including being a responsible son, taking loans to take her on trips every year, buying anything she wants (including a flat in Pune when he had very less income and investing such a huge money was sort of a disastrous decision). She always has this mentality that everyone around including her son is trying to harm her (possibly an effect of watching too many crime series). Off late she has started accusing him of monetarily draining him (kindly note she doesn’t contribute anything to the monthly expenses and even takes away the rent that comes from her own flat and her son’s flat).
Another point she fights about with him is that he doesn’t wish to get married as he identifies as asexual and doesn’t wish to spoil a girl’s life and his own life as well. She has gone to the extent of calling him a hijra, and suggested him to try prostitution along with his friends to earn extra money when he asked her to contribute financially as he was running on a tight budget. She plays victim by saying that she has raised him all alone, paid for his education and that now she is also a senior citizen. She even threatens to do something to herself and write a note falsely accusing him of harming her as according to her Indian laws will never listen to the son’s side since she is a woman and that too a senior citizen.
Oh btw that lady has multiple FIRs in her name from her neighbours, her own mother and the place where she worked previously. She also says racist things about certain communities like Bengalis and Buddhists (Jai Bheem) people as according to her some psychiatrist (she isn’t ready to tell us the name of the psychiatrist) has asked her to never trust the Bengalis, Muslims, Christians and and people from the Jai Bheem faith. My friend has all her messages where she has written all sorts of hurtful abuses and curses and calls recorded but he is unable to take a step further as he looks forward to having some legal suggestions to be able to take a next step. He tried being a good son but her recent actions have gone beyond tolerance and he is afraid that she might try to harm him.
Requesting suggestions or advice on this as I am scared for my friend’s safety and mental well being. The torture has gone to such extent that he is losing focus from his job and unable to think straight.
