Okay, gotcha re: the meds. It's one of those fun situations where she actually has to do harm to herself or someone else before they can do anything. ACK!!!
It's not really funny so much as tragic but there is a sick sense of humor lurking in there even with them coming back -- it's just not funny at the moment. You should save this all because it would make a great chapter in a book someday. Seriously.
She sounds like a woman with serious issues (duh!) but it is odd that your mom would continue to be friends with her. Not because she's mentally ill (although that does tend to drive people away) but because she sounds like a drain on her as a friend (even if she wasn't diagnosable).
Again, I'm sorry you have to go through all of this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you survive the day or so and get her on a plane outta there. I understand about not wanting to deal -- my cousin is diagnosed bi-polar but probably actually schizophrenic and I can't stand to be around her because it upsets me too much.
