44. This Doesn't Sound Good

Sun Feb 17, 2013, 11:26 AM

Feb 2013

Oy bama blue dot - my heart goes out to you.

It's not easy leaving...please make sure there are no guns in the home. Your mother is a brave woman - but this could make matters worse. I remember my ex always running to my mom and she was back and forth...feeling bad for me, bad for him. He'd cry and she would call me and say, isn't there anyway you two can work it out! His mother who never liked me would plead with me too. Non stop drama is a terrible situation.

How can you leave if your mother is going to move next door?

Sounds like it's time to call an agency and get some professionals to intervene.

Please stop with the suicide talk...
