I’m a 24 year old woman with her own family and I’m watching my mother go down a very bad road. The roles have reversed and I’m the one stepping up and speaking out.I’ll make this as short as possibleMy whole life my mother has been in bad relationships. My father was abusive, the next man she married was abusive. Then she found my “dad” (step father that has been there my whole life and is the father of my little sister) who was a police officer that came to the scene of the last abuse. They ended up divorcing after almost 7 years of marriage. After that my mom was alone for a while, then she was gay and dated woman for a while. She then contacted me one day and told be she had gone out of state and married a man that we had never met before. Background on this man: In and out of prison, rehab and psych wards most of his adult life. I told my mother that if she was happy thats what mattered to me.They started fighting more and more. Each fight she either makes him leave or she will leave the state. Each fight started getting more and more violent. He hit her one night and called my dad in hysterics telling him to come over with a gun to scare him off. The police were called and by the end of the conversation he had the cops believing it was her that was abusive, so she was asked to leave her home. The main thing about this story is that I have a 14 year old sister that was in the house when the first big fight broke out. My mother fled the home with her to stay at a friends house. My dad filed for full custody of my sister so that she wouldn’t be around this scary man and this awful thing my mother was going through. She told me she was done, she made a bad choice and that he wasn’t coming back. A month later he was there. And she never told me, just talked to me as if nothing had happened. That they were both to blame. Not much longer he got rowdy again, she went to Florida to get away. During this time he went nuts threatening to kill my dad on the way to his house the police arrested him and charged him with DUI. My mother changed her number stayed with us for a few days.Here we are a few months later and my mother calls me to inform me that she needs to make her marriage work. That they were both to blame and they were going to do things right. All things that were said the last time he came back.Key concernsMy mother doesn’t care that I’ve forbidden him to be around me and my family.My teenage sister has witnessed her going back to this manipulative monster numerous times.When I watched her growing up doing this she never went back to these abusive men.All fights have gotten worse and worse and I’m scared my mother is going to be killed if he snapsI need guidance I don’t know where to turn or what to say to her.
