balla,
Sounds like a truly dysfunctional situation and from what you've said and even left out, you have every right to be angry. Keep venting because I think it's good for you. I do want to say though that this is your biological mother right? If not, forget everything I'm about to say.
It sounds like your mother may have very serious problems - mental, physical, whatever. Now the things she has done and is doing are things you have every right to be angry with. It sounds to me like this is between your father and her. Somehow, you got caught in the middle of a situation that isn't really about your relationship with your mother directly, but rather is affecting your relationship with your mother through the things she is doing to your father.
If what you have said is all true than your mother needs help and is ill. Illnesses always affect the people around the ill person. Especially the loved ones. You only get one mother in life and for better or worse, this is the one that you were given. Like I said, it's good that you're expressing your anger as well you should but many of these things are being said out of anger and I hear very little concern for the fact that she is you mother and she is in serious trouble. That should hurt you. When people get hurt, they get angry and is totally understandable.
You do not know how all of this will turn out in the end but one thing is for sure is that, in time, you need to express your feelings and the way her actions hurt you in a calm and peaceful manner.
Right now, your father should be taking the steps necessary to continue on with his life in a peaceful and enjoyable fashion. You should perhaps stand back for a while and let him do that for himself. You may be best friends but sometimes even our friends have to be left to their own methods of dealing with a horrible situation such as your describing. In the event that this arrives in front of a judge, which seems inevitable, then you can play a vital role in backing your father and friend.
In the meantime, be careful what you do with your mother. They day may come when she has straightened out her life and wants to try to reestablish some sort of relationship (whatever it may be) with you. What will you do then? Are you burning your bridges with no hope of ever getting that back?
Are you 100% sure that you never want to have another thing to with her ever. When you were born, she suffered through your birth. She nursed you through your childhood. You cried in her arms. Remember? She's very sick right now.
You're feelings are 100% justified and you do whatever you think is best for you bro. But in the interest of HOPE, leave that door open just a crack. The years are coming when she won't be doing the things she is now. She's going to be an elderly lady somewhere who gave birth to you. You are entwined in that respect.
Take care my brother and you do what you need to stay healthy in every way. You're disgust for your mother's actions may not be the same as your feelings for as a person and your mother. Certainly everyone will understand whatever you do. It's obvious from this thread that people care about you. You have your father, mother, family, and some true friends along the way. That's about it. Cherish them. Just don't go down with them.
Keep venting away my friend but eventually after your anger subsides....
Thanks for letting the members here see your feelings on this. It's difficult to probably even think about let alone write about. Good for you! We'll be here.
In all things, Peace bro.
OTH
damn man i wont lie that kinda brought tears to my eyes
to answer ur questions yes she is my real mother
and even tho all of this is goin on and shes at fault liek u said she is my mother and the only one i will ever have and NO ONE can ever take that place in my life no matter what she or i or anyone does, i love my mother no matter what she does but liek u said we r all in disgust and angry
thru all of this, i will never turn my back on my mother if she needs help, no matter what she has done to me my father and my family id still give her my last breath jus so she could breath one more breath then i and give her that last second of life longer then me, id cut off my arm and give it to her if she needed it but what she is missing is a heart and ive tried to talk to her and ive told her all of this
the first thing i told her when this all first came out is that i love her and nothing can change that no matter what and if she ever needed me then id be there to help in a heart beat, even after all that said she STILL continues to lie to me about everything and even after she stumbles in her own lies and i catch her and the truth comes out she still lies about other things, does my mother need help mentally? i dotn really think so at all. she knows what she is doing and she plays games and uses things to her advantage
she has issues no doubt but its nothin that she cant control. i know my mom and how she works and its all sad and seems liek no one could ever be the way she is but she is that way. she cares bout herselfand willuse any excuse, advantage she can for herself, even as far as her making statement of killing herself. when she did that i stepped back and was concerned for her bc i dotn want that none of my family does and i comfort her and talked to her on a dif level even with all this goin on. she wuld never hurt herself she says things liek that to make ppl feel sorry for her, thats how she works. she is indeed a sick ind and does need help but tis not a problem she cant control and fix herself. its that she DOESNT WANT to. she thinks she is playin everyone in my family and hs the upper hand on everyone and is gettin away with murder like she has time and time and time again, well this time she wont im behind her every move and all these toughts and judgemets we have made and accustations we have came up with bout how she truly might be, im proving that we were right all along. i got pic, voice recordings etc of her talkin bout it. her plan is to milk my father for everything she can and take whatever she can and then when my old bosses son graduates high school in a year him and her will run off together, but he wont leave his wife bc he wants his kid to not go thru it all and be away when it all goes down. his wife has been told but she simply says she doesnt believe it, owell thats fine she doesnt have to and if she wants to be blind about it all she will realize it all in a year or 2 when he comes up and tells her he wants a divorce
this man is buyin my mother a house to stay in right now but she is tryin an dthinks shes playinit off as her jsu moving out givin my dad his space for now so they can take soem time to breathe, and in that time for them to breathe she is gna continue to milk him and take everything she can from under him. i got all thsi on tape and on film etc
im everywhere shes at so i see it all
its sad that i have to do this but my dad is weak bc he loves her, he knows what he needs to do he is jus tryin to find it in his heart and figure out how he wants to do it, thats where i step in bc he aske dme too bc he emotionally is wrecked and if he sees soemthin he will most likely do soemthin that doesnt need to be done
i would never do anything that would seriously hurt my mother but i will make sure that justice is served to her for what she has done
if she hates me then thats her call but i never will shut her totally out
she made her bed she needs to sleep in it
thansk for the response OTH means alot bro! and thanks for all the kind words, yall bors r doing more then u kno wby jus writting inhere to me
my dads comes home tonight and we r gna talk to him and show him all the pics and videos of this weekend and go from there
i will keep u posted
thaks again bros
