But it's more to do with my abusive twin brother than my mother. But she defends him, says It's my fault for not forgiving him about the 40 odd years we put up with his abuse, drinking, and some physical violence, and general terror he inflicted on us. When our dad died, my brother moved in permanently with mum.[He's never married]. She's quite fragile physically, breaking nearly all her bones at one time or another, uses a cane,had a heart attack, has macular degeneration etc. So I do the doctor's visits, medicatons, yard work etc. HE does nothing. I never know when he's going to go off his head, throwing things and screaming abuse. So I have to walk on egg shells when I'm there. [But he goes off anyway!] MY PROBLEM is that as much as I want to leave town, I really can't with mum needing me. {My brother won't even take the cat to the vet. Mum has to ring, then I go and do it.] There's so much more, but it would take forever to write it. I know he has a disorder, and is on medication, but he's still a monster. We'll be 60 soon, and would like to leave and go to a nice place to retire, but I can't see that happening. Anyway, sorry for my miserable story. I can't help you. I can't even help myself. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812446686334702389.post-17128201459919061912011-04-19T19:56:40.720-07:002011-04-19T19:56:40.720-07:00As I'm sure you're well aware, my advice m...As I'm sure you're well aware, my advice maintains: Flee as far as you fucking can as fast as your feet will carry you.<br /><br />Having said it (again), know that I do understand how hard it is to cut loose and let it go. I haven't talked to my problem in a good long while, but I still wonder what it would be like to be in the same room. <br /><br />And if you need a mom to tell you you're awesome, borrow mine! In fact, borrow both my parents! Seriously, I'm sure they'd love to have you visit. And you can pet my dog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
