about

Hey everyone!My name is Brina,I've been on this site for a few years, after not being on for a while, I figured I'd start up again, having more knowledge then before! I'm 19 years old and am going to be a sophomore in college this coming fall! Please feel free to ask me anything!


I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY WITH SCHOOL SO MY APOLOGIES IF I DON'T GET TO YOUR QUESTIONS RIGHT AWAY!

advice

seriously, I can't stand him.
he has NO personality, you try to joke with him he takes it seriously & gets mad.

he doesn't get along with my sister & he's completely ruined the relationship between my mom & my sister.

his wife died in 2005, his wife & my mom were best friends before she died. now he's dating my mom, I lost all respect for him after that.

He smokes in the house ALL the time, he knows I don't like it, my mom tried talking to him about it, to try and take it outside but all he said was "I was smoking in the house before she moved in, so she'll just have to learn to get used to it."


My mom used to never drink before she dated him, now she drinks all the time & also smokes.


he's only home for 4 days, then goes back to work for 4 days he works on the ship channel.
when he's home though he hogs my mom all to himself, I asked my mom if she wanted to go walking with me, he was sitting right there & asked my mom to stay home for the rest of the movie, then after that wanted to take her out to drink.


he's rude to both me & my sister & my mom doesn't realize it. my sister went to prom this year she got her prom picture & gave one to my mom, it was a magnetmy mom showed her boyfriend & all he said was "atleast they look half normal" my mom just laughed.

everytime I try to talk to her about how I feel she doesn't listen, she thinks her boyfriends perfect, & she thinks he treats her better then my dad ever did. i've tried accepting their relationship, but he just annoys me soo bad.

He's also super boring to talk to, I was in 5th grade & I asked him for help on my homework it was a simple problem that he could've answered in 2 minutes, NO he goes from talking about my math problem to knots in a boat I didn't get my answer until 2 hours later.


what do I do? I don't want them dating anymore, my mom is really pretty & she's really funny, and he's the complete opposite. she can do way better not just look wise, but personality wise also.

PLEASE HELPPP.

This is a really hard situation to be in. You have to try and talk to your mom again, maybe sit her down. Just let her know how he is effecting you in a bad way. It might not be the best idea to tell her you don't want them to be together, because that might make things worse. He's probably an asshole because of his wife that died still. Maybe schedule a counseling session with your school guidance counselor, or a psychiatrist in the area were you all can meet. Call him out when he's being rude, just say "I didn't do anything for you to be so rude, so please don't be rude to me." And as for the smoke, he is a complete idiot if he still smokes after seeing his wife die from lung cancer. Not only is the smoking effecting him, it is effecting you. Second hand smoke kills, truly. Keep being persistent with talking to your mom, and try and be there for your sister as much as you can. Hope I helped! Good Luck!
