Terrielm, I appreciate your advice as well. I think I will go with my "intuition" on going out with him tonight. As for my mom, she's always been like that and to a degree, I thought it was normal... like that's how moms were. When I was younger I use to ask her, why she stayed with my step dad... she'd usually tell me that I would understand when I got older and had a husband of my own and stuff like that. For a while I kinda felt like she stayed because she was so afraid of him... I don't believe that now. Anyways, I gotta go. L8ter.

I finally got someone to listen to me and they came to my school and interviewed me and took me to a shelter, I was 17 almost 18. After court and everything they were going to make me go back home because my mom had convinced them that I was making things worse than they really were, and that she would protect me. I told them I wouldn't go back home so my mom made arrangements for me to go live with one of her brothers. He was a psychologist so they thought that would be suitable. Kind of ironic because a few years after that he was accused of molesting and sexually abusing his patients. It wasn't until I had been married and had a daughter of my own that I told her she couldn't be a part of my life, if she couldn't acknowledge how she had allowed things to happen to me she couldn't be a part of my life or my daughters. My daughter is 18 now and she never new my mother. She did show up at my house one day telling my daughter and other children that I wasn't living a lie because I had pictures and sayings about families and how important they are. My 18 year old was like get away from me. Haven't seen her since, I probably wouldn't go to her funeral either, Is that bad of me! |

Mjkkas, thanks for the advice about going with my heart and all. I've made alot of mistakes not doing that when it comes to guys. I mean like being careless and trusting. And I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter. As for my mom, I'd agree that she's not as bad as your mom but abuse is abuse I guess... I honestly never thought of it that way... I always considered it as.. that's just how she is.... I don't know. But yeah... your mom sucks. How did you finally get away from her?Return to the Message Board
