adviceman49 answered Monday August 1 2011, 12:01 pm: There is very little you can do to help your mom. What you can do to help yourself depends on how old you are and whether your dad is willing to go back to court for a change in custody.
If dad is willing to go back to court for a change in custody you may be old enough where the court will take your request to live with your father under consideration.
This is not a guarantee and requires a lawyer, probably a court appointed , I will call them a guardian for the moment as I cannot remember the legal term, for you, and probably a visit from social services to both parents homes. It could get very ugly for everyone.

Nobody is asking you to adore him just get along with him. Trust me, Respect pays a huge roll and if you both can learn to respect one another it will lift any sort of tension you both have and making living a hell lot easier. You made it clear you don't like the guy but reality is kiddo this is about your mother and what she wants. If she wants to be with him then you are going to have to respect her choices, Your mother is a grown women who is entitled to date whoever she wants too date. If they ever do get divorced then you don't have to worry about the ass hat anymore but in the meantime ride it out. That's about all you can do [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]

If you are a minor, tough through it. if you love your mom youll stick it out for her happiness. i went throught the same situation. My mom had to realize she was in an unhealthy relationship on her own. Time will fly and youll be out of there soon enough.
if you cant bear to watch it happen make friends with your neighbors. this way if something horrible happens you have somewhere to escape to. and be sure to have relatives whom u trust numbers in your phone. dont have a phone? write the numbers down so u have them.
