Well, lets just say since November 2008 my mom has officially been off the deep end. I think I have shared some in previous posts, but to recap: She used to be a correctional counselor at the same prison in which my husband in now employed. Her main job was to teach classes to inmates on how to refrain from drugs and alcohol on the outside and also about relationships and family. Well, she kinda fell for her T.A......yes, an inmate! Everyone that knew her were shocked to learn about her new relationship. These were the type of men she would tell my sister and myself to stay away from as a protective mother and now she was with a man that has spent his whole adult life in prison for burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and battery (to a pregnant person). WHAT?!?! How can she think this is ok?
Her relationship with him became public in April 2009, shortly after he got out of prison. Since April of 2009 when he got out, he has been back in prison three times and she remains loyal to him. At one point he was re-arrested for domestic violence to my mother. Yes, she remains with him. I don't understand it and am currently in counseling to try to figure it all out and learn how to establish boundaries with her and our relationship. Don't get me wrong, this is killing me on the inside. This is the woman who for so many years knew more about me than my best friends. We have been through soooo much together and to have her walk away from me and my sister for a man like this sickens me to the core. The woman that I talk to once a week is not the mom I grew up with or the mom I know and love. She has been taken from me and our family by a worthless man and I don't know what to do to help her, but since she is a 50 year old woman I guess I have to let her live out her life with the choices she is making.
I can't let this get me down during the best time of my life-I am married to the love of my life, have a house to maintain and job that is stress free. I have three (yes three) dogs that love their mama. I will not let this man win.
