51. Does your father have

Wed Oct 24, 2012, 12:12 PM

Oct 2012

lots of money? Does your mother have a job? My mother went through 3 divorces and I was right there with her.

First, FIND OUT EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MONEY! AND THE BILLS. Does he have credit cards just in his name? Always get the mail before he comes home. Does he have PO box? Is the home paid for? Where are the assets?

There are so many places for help compared to when my mom got a divorce. Is father abusive? Verbally or physically? Does your mother have parents or siblings to stay with for a while?

Talk to a counselor at a Domestic Violence center....they know everything. Life is too short to stay w/ some asshole.

If he is violent or owns weapons, get a gun. I'm not kidding. One is allowed to protect oneself.

I hope your mother isn't one to 'suffer in silence.'
