I. Want. To. Go. Home.
Despite our issues, I love my mother, I do, so much. But holy shit, she and her husband are awful to one another. They fight all the time, from the second they're awake until they go to bed. her husband is a real piece of work all by himself. I mean, yeah, she snaps easy and has a temper. says awful, horrible, mean things, isn't all too affectionate (but she's like that with everyone), and is part of the reason I have PTSD, but he's so much worse.
He mocks her, makes her think everything is her fault, thinks that if she's out of his sight she'll sleep around with the first guy she sees. He's made her choose between him and her friends, he isolates her. She's been the only one bringing in money for the last few months, but he won't let her control the 'fun/leisure' money.
(The only thing he hasn't done is alienate her from her family, but they're already pretty estranged anyway)
She's admitted she knows it's unhealthy and abusive, but won't kick him out. I know it can be hard to get out of that cycle, that mindset. Hell, I still think the stuff my dad did to me 'wasn't that bad' and it was awful, so I know, I understand what long-term abuse can do to a persons mind. And she's gone from one abusive relationship to another, so that can't be helping at all.
And it's frustrating because she knows it's bad, but she won't do anything and I know why she won't but fuck...
it's, it's just frustrating.
I love her, but I want to go home. I want to be in a space where I'm not on the edge of a fucking PTSD meltdown all the time.
