I am 34 yrs old, married. When I was 10 my parents got divorced and my mum was already taking sleeping pills and til' today, she has not stopped. She is also a compulsive gambler and her bf (the man she thought she would marry when she left us) supports her. For the last 24 yrs til today, I have had to deal with my mum's verbal abuse, attempted suicides and emotional blackmail. She blames us for her "misery" - she doesn't work except gamble while we slave ourselves. I do not deny she has a very lonely life though. Back in 2001 after not living with her for more than 20 yrs, I asked her to stay with me, hoping that a family environment would change her. But NO! Things got worse! 3 mths back she threw bricks at my hse and before that, she did the same thing at my dad's hse. She has called me prostitute, cursed my sis & I to die, etc. I can't believe all this is still happening. I have worked so hard to be whr I am today but am so down and have thought of emigrating but it's tough. Help.
