Well, I know this is a weird place to be posting somthing like this... Anyways, Here's the story. My mom met some guy on the internet and he was really nice until he moved in... Then he was a total dick. She eventually divorced the guy after a year and a half of hell... Right away she started seeing another guy that none of the kids liked which is where I stand. So, my mom met him and before you know it... a week later the dude is living with us. Months later he moved out... Now she's met alot of other guys... But she's always talking to this "Indian Cheif" lol I know it sounds weird but he's really an Indian Cheif. Anyways shes never met him or anything. only talked to him on the phone. Next thing you know, Shes getting Married! All my siblings have been telling her to not and to meet the guy. But she wont listen. Anyone got any suggestions on what to do?
Does he run one of those casinos? If yes, then suck it up. J/K Yea, that's a tough one. Hopefully she'll get it right this time. Not much else you can do.
My mom is kinda the same way and she knows that she'd be better off if she listened to her family about dudes, but hey ... that's amore.
Well, as long as he doesn't turn out to be Chief "Cheatumwife" or Chief "Beatumkids", count yourself lucky.
Couple of questions. 1. How old are you? (makes a difference in the answer.) 2. Where's your dad?(also makes a difference.) 3. Do you have a hammer? Without answers to any of the above, here are some suggestions. 1. Take the hammer and smash the **** out of all of the computers your mom has access to. She clearly is not old enough to be allowed near them. 2. If you're over 18, time to find a roommate, and move out. 3. If you're under 18, and get along with Dad, but Mom has custody, time to consider talking to a lawyer about getting that changed for all of you. 4. If you have younger brothers and/or sisters, you may want to hang around, despite the tough conditions, to make sure they are ok. 5. College coming up soon? That solves most of the problem for you. Pick a school at least 100 miles away. Makes a quick trip home possible, if Mom ir your siblings need you, but it's far enough away that weekend visits are less likely to be required from you at home. This really sucks over all for you and your sibs. Instability makes for an unhappy home life. Everyone wants security and safety and your Mom is looking for that, apparently in all the wrong places. Hang tough, any amount of talking you do with your mom is not going to change her opinion, or her actions, just cause more friction and anger.
I think ur best bet is to sit down with her....even though she most likely wont listen as a woman; get her to understand that ur not happy with this, and at least voice ur dissatisfaction. After this, see all those rules, maybe shell understand that nobody wants to see a man other than their dad in bed with their mom...
Concur. I need to know as well but it does seem you may be in high school or even younger simply because each jack-ass's living in has had such an impact on you. BTW, my mom re-married when I was just graduating from high school. She had been divorced for 5 years, went through a couple of guys and, finally, met a great one. She asked me what I thought with each guy and, luckily for me, considered my responses. I'm p.o'd and saddened at the same time that you, even though we've never met, must go through this. Above all, keep your head up! Be strong and feel free to post here whenever you feel the need. Everyone needs an outlet and if Ferrarichat does it for you, then great. Thanks for sharing. Dane
hey. wadda ya meeeeen? hilly accent?? I am from the SUB-BOIBS of FIL-DEL-FI-A. GO IGGLES!!! (That's our football team.) And BTW, the hammer advice isn't really all that bad. Maybe a new password for AOL that she can't crack would be a place to start. Internet chat rooms and online dating services and the like are dangerous for children, and even more so for some "adults". DM
Learn to say "Ya-ta-hey" (A little Navajo lingo there for the folks in Rio Linda) This chief isn't really Ward Churchill by any chance?
No offense man but your mom sounds kinda kooked out. I know a few women like this in their late 30s and it has never ended up good. You just need to watch out for YOURSELF and realize this is NOT normal behavior. Sometimes the kids are smarter than the parents. You mom has a self-esteem problem. If you see any drug use or any of these people ever threaten or come after you, get out. I don't care how, just go. I don't know about anyone else here, but this sounds like a volatile situation. I feel for ya bro. RMX
Just checked Andrew's profile. He was born in 1989 so is probably still in high school and has another couple of years until he's technically on his own. As asked, where's your nearest relative? Dad, etc and how's your relationship with him/her/them? The hard truth seems to be this from what you've presented. Your mom's loyalty to you seems to have faded and your loyalty can only go so far when her behavior has been as such. Contact a relative, discuss the situation, gather possible courses of action and be prepared to act on them. Your mom is still your mom so I also recommend discussing your most viable course of action with her. Be prepared for an adverse reaction, though, as it will probably not be pretty. You may have to go through some difficult days. Keep your eye on the ball and remind yourself that better days are ahead. Better days are ALWAYS ahead. Make this a learning experience as this WILL make you a better person, husband and father. Dane
Andy..Sorry to hear of your dilema. Your mom probably needs some professional help. She has to understand that the wellbeing of her familiy comes first. Do you have other siblings that can run an intervention on her? She'll be thankful to you in the longrun. Keep us posted.
Sorry for the late reply 1. I'm almost 16 2. I've already talked to my dad about living with him and he says "His house is too small" 3. I have a hammer. lol 4. I have 3 siblings. I usually hang out with my older brother 5. I'm about 3 years away from college My nearest relitive is my grand parents and they dont have any room for me ethier.
I'll be blunt. In response to (2): Your dad can KMA. I can't ever see me saying that to my boy. What a POS thing to do to your own kid. In response to (4): Have you talked with your brother about possible options? i.e. if things get way out of hand, can you stay with him? How old is he and what does he do? Have you actually talked with your grandparents about this whole ****-sandwich? If so, did they say you were not welcome with them? If that's the case, they can KMA as well. Andrew, look to your oldest brother. Keep us posted. Dane
