First off I have never EVER done anything like this but I am desperate.
My mom and dad have had problems all of my life and at times the emotional turmoil that dad puts my mom through really gets bad. I have watched him refuse to let her visit family and if she did it anyway there was heck to pay. He also has cheated on her on several occasions but because of me she stuck it out. I am old enough to know this isn't what I want for my mom she is miserable and cries a lot she tries to hid it but I know exactly when dad has put her through the ringer and I hate it I really hate it. She has hinted that she wants to leave my dad and to be honest I really wished she would and I have even told her so but she said she can leave me to deal with dad by my self... I don't want to leave home until I can make my own way and honestly me leaving and going with her would be more of a problem for her than anything else because dad would flip his lid and disown me for taking her side over his and if i don't go she won't leave and she will continue to be miserable...
She is stuck I am stuck and Dad gets to do what ever and say what ever to her and gets away with it and I feel like it is ALL my fault....
Help me get mom to see that I will be fine as long as I know she is ok and out of this mess.
