Break Up Problems?!?

Question

My mom wants to divorce my dad, she has for years now. She's tried to 3 times, and the last time even got a house but he sucked her back into it.

Things got so bad with my sister and him, he kicked her out and now hes starting on me. He treats my mom like dirt, and freaks on me for the littlest thing. He's so abusive, as a child, it was a little more physical, now its at the point where its both emotional and mental.

Yesterday I was moving my leg and the car was moving and i'm like "sorry, I didn't know I was that strong" and hes like "I'm pretty sure its not because your strong that you make everything in the car shake when you move"

I personally, can't stand him anymore, and I have no idea how to deal with him anymore. My mom wants to break up with him so badly but is struggling (25 yrs of marriage) How can I help give her the strength to leave him? She deserves so much better...

Answer 1

So sad, and I'm sorry you're in the middle of your parent's problems. What is so sad you are the one that will be having the emotional problems from this. If you're still in school I would go to the school counselor and get support there. She also can guide you to seek further counseling, sometimes free. Go to your mother and tell her you love her and want the best for her, but you need help and counseling to deal with this. My heart goes out to your dear. Also, go to your Priest, or Religious Leader he also can give you advice and maybe help to get counseling and also for your mother. One more thing dear, Pray. Pray for your parents and for yourself to find direction. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Encourage her to go see a counselor by herself, they can advise her on what would be best for her since she doesn't seem strong enough to make the move by herself.

Good luck!
