Things around the househave been so hard latley <3 yrs> because my mom has this boyfriend named dale who treats her like crap. The only thing keeping them together is there son Mathew who is my half brother. Things just keep getting worse and worse though. its to the point where I cry myself to sleep cuz I know how much pain my mom goes through. I wish I could help but I cant. He even hit her quiet a few times before. She flips out on me when I forget to take my purse, keys, her pay check, or money everywhere I go cuz if i dont then dale would take it. He sneaks around 24/7 he snoops in MY ROOM scrouging for things. Me and my mom couldnt leave the house at the same time cuz he would lock us out if we did. What can I do to get my mind of thses things? Is there any way I can help my mom out cuz I hate seeing her like this. Dale would flip out if my mom were to go with her friends to dinner, or 6flags. why does she have to sit in the house 24/7 just because he wants her to but yet he will yell at her the whole entire time? sorry for the long entry

1. You stay with a relative at their house so you can avoid this type of problem.
or
2. Call the police on Dale. I mean if he hits your mom, that's called domestic abuse. So call the cops and then get your mom to press charges and probably get a restraining order. You guys will feel so much safer. (Just to let you know, if it was me I would probably whack him with a broom a couple times before the cops came LOL)
chaos answered Friday August 20 2004, 8:48 am: Is there a close relative you can talk to or stay with? You all need to get out of this situation before it escalates to someone getting killed. Tell you mom how you feel, but you probably need another adult and/or the police to step in. Your mom needs to pack you guys up and leave because it just isn't safe or healthy to be there.

rosebud_01 answered Friday August 20 2004, 1:32 am: If things do not change for the better then you should talk to your mom about her leaving her boyfriend because if she doesn't get out of that house sometime soon something bad could happen. If you guys leave you don't have to worry about him abusing your mom anymore. But if he does try to find you or stawk you then your mom should make a complaint against him and also put a restraining order on him. That way you won't have to worry about leaving in fear anymore.

I dont really know the whole story but I think your mom should leave him. If shes not happy then she should leave and take your brother with her. I guess he has rights to see his son and stuff but I think you guys should leave. And if you guys do leave and he bothers you (follows you around and stuff) restraining orders work...Theres nthing really you can do to take your mind off things. I'm glad you wanna help your mother out, I think you should tell her that its not fair what hes doing to her and that she deserves better. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
