I'm in college & I went home this weekend. All she did while I was there was talk to him on the phone in her bedroom with the door shut and IM him on her computer. I have four younger siblings, and she's neglecting them because of this; I'm very worried about them. She rarely pays attention to them--things like feeding them, washing their clothes, etc. The youngest is 11. She's divorced (18 mo).
I'm especially worried because this guy seems very jealous, and I know that's an early sign of abuse. I picked up the phone while they were talking Saturday, and I heard him laugh at her when she got angry/upset about something. He always wants to know who she's talking to or what internet sites she's on. She doesn't know I listened to them on the phone; I lied when she asked because I'm scared of her. She doesn't listen to me, even if I speak calmly. She blows up in my face, won't let me come over and see my siblings. I can't talk to her about it; what can I do? I'm angry & scared.

This sounds like a case that needs family counseling . I would sit down and talk to my mother and see what she says . If she says no then talk to your siblings guidance counselor and have her talk with your mother . Your mother will not be able to buffalo her like she can you. If the counselor thinks something is up then she will call the authorities and then maybe they can get your mom to see what she is doing

i think that you are right about this weirdo,but now he probably has your moms phone # and other info enough to do some garbage like stalk,Doe's your mom have a history of abusive relationships? i personally think that meeting PREDATORS on the Internet is dangerous,if anything serious happens don't just take matters into your own hands call the police,if your dad and or step dad is cool and a nice person then talk to him but if he is abusive to then stay away from that,
have your dad take her to court to get custody of the kids

That's a really hard situation even more so because you're mother is an adult and you can't really tell her what to do. If you're that concerned maybe you could speak to your relatives or one of your moms close friends who think you mom would listen to if they confronted her on the issue. Also, I would try to maintain some form of communication with my siblings so that you can have an idea of what's going on with them.

Your mother is doing something very dangerous that could harm her and your siblings. If your siblings are really being neglected, you need to contact Child Protective Services and ask for their assistance. Your mother is not thinking clearly about what could happen to her and the family.
