Answer: Sorry to hear about that.\nFrom what I've read, it appears that YOU are the adult and your mom is the child.\nWhat is the relationship with your dad?\nIf you can talk with him about your concerns, do so.\nHe probably has a lot of hostile feelings towards your mom, and it sounds like he's justified in doing so...but remind him that HE is the PARENT and YOU are the CHILD in NEED of answers.\nSomeone, somewhere in your family has to act responsible.\notherwise, I hope you have access to family counseling..it may help you learn how to respond to your mom.\nI DOUBT your mom would be mature enough to recognize the fact that she NEEDs professional help...but you could suggest it to her.\nI wish you well.
