My mum is still with her abuser and will be forever I imagine. It's hard to get someone to change when they've sunk so much cost in and are a little too old school.
I wish everyone in this situation a very good luck getting out.
That's really hard to watch, it's a sad and helpless position for you. It's really difficult to get out when someone has sunk so much cost in, especially when the abusers has had years to build a cage round them. That's the whole point of the control. I wish you and your mom peace

Sounds like any given Sunday in my life. My wife has got some sort of mental illness. I love her, but I think I'm gonna be dying young in my 50's or 60's....not quite presidential. I hope you all enjoy your retirement, that beer is on me guys! And gals! And everyone else in the spectrum of genders.

I hope I never have to talk to my “brother” again, I don’t care if he changes, he made my life a living hell for long enough.

I totally support you on that. Him changing doesn't change the past at all, and a living hell isn't a small thing

I thought it was breast cancer awareness month. My job is making us all wear pink ribbons on our uniforms all month.

I love it when the block fodder self-identifies.
