i'm really sorry things are like that for you. i actually see similar stuff between Eric and his mom, and it drives me insane to watch. out of pity (and sometimes, i fear, cowardice) Eric puts up with her ridiculous demands, tirades, et cetera. sometimes i think about this too, because honestly- if i left the house and my mother was not around, i would never speak to my father again. my mom always says: "but he's your father... you know how he is... just ignore him... you need to stop this" but i can't ignore it. you can't ignore it. i don't think that it is fair to as a) human beings and b) above everything else, their children. sometimes i don't know if we even have that right, being that we are the result of someone's child bearing and years of care, but i also believe that there are more ways to harm a child than to lay a hand upon them. i'm not religious either, but i think (from what you have written and what i have heard) that if she was at the gates, God might have a few more words of concern with her than he will with ( ... )
