I don't own Criminal Minds
This is takes place in seasons 3 and 4. Maybe 5 but we'll see how this goes. Spencer's mom has lived with much longer then that obviously.
Enjoy
At the office, Morgan and Prentiss were discussing about the team going to a new bar that opened up after work. Everyone agreed except for Spencer. "Come on man, you might meet a lovely lady. You shouldn't e cooped up in your apartment alone" said Morgan.
Spencer shook his head, "Thanks Morgan…but I'm going to head home." Morgan sighed, "Why don't you ever go out? What's so fascinating in your apartment anyways?" Spencer sighed, "I'm sorry." Finally the clock read five and Spencer practically ran out of the office to go home.
The reason he couldn't go out tonight was because tonight his mom had her weekly doctor's appointment.

The drive there was quiet, until he mom spoke. "Why do you work for a bunch of fascists Spencer?" Spencer sighed, "There not fascists, there people who I work with." She sat back in her seat and looked out the window. The rest of the ride was quiet.
The doctor came into the room with his clipboard. "How are you today Diana?" She looked up at him, "Fine I suppose…but I really wish I didn't have to take so many pills all the time." "I know but without them you know what would happen."
"I know…" Spencer took her hand and gave her a warm smile. She smiled back as well. "Mr. Reid, your mother's prescriptions have been renewed. The nurse will take her to the next room for her regular physical and mental tests." The nurse came in and took her out of the office. The doctor sighed and looked at Spencer.
"Mr. Reid…I know that your mother means a great deal to you…but she is a paranoid schizophrenic. She needs care and treatment that you cannot provide on your own. Plus you told me her delusions have become more frequent. It won't be long until she becomes a danger to not only herself but to you as well."
Spencer stood up, "Doctor, I know all of the risks but she is my mother, I will not abandon her like my dad did." He sat down and held his head. It was the second time he had a headache today. "Mr. Reid…please I know we've been over this many times but understand your mother needs help."
The doctor handed him a pamphlet of a sanitarium in Virginia. "It's not far from where you live and it has many renowned doctors and…"
"Doctor…please just…I don't want to talk about this anymore."
He sighed and left the room. Spencer was in a deadlock, reason versus his conscience. On one hand it's the right thing but on the other its abandonment.
After a half an hour, Diana came back into the room and they left the office to go home. When they got there his mother started to thrash about and knocked over some of Spencer's books. He literally had to force her to swallow her medication. After several minutes, she relaxed and went to the living room to read. "Spencer…I'm lecturing on Shakespeare's poetry in class tomorrow…make she to wake me at nine."
"Sure mom, go and relax and ill make you some dinner." Spencer's chest felt tight, almost to a point where he couldn't breathe.
