Newest update on the drama that is my life...

[pebbles66]

On Tuesday, my sister got a private message on her Facebook account sent from my Dad's Facebook. It said: "Hi, M----------. How r u?" From my Dad, who this Sunday, will have been dead for two years. Yeah

What an awful situation. I'm so sorry your mom and all of you are going through this.

That's awful :(

Is there no way to get Adult Protective Services involved, or something?

Can you take your mom bra shopping, or some other "definitely not for boys" activity and get her away from him long enough for you and your siblings to all get together with her over a meal or for a good long chat someplace that isn't any of your homes? (Rent a hotel room if necessary.) Because that sounds ominous.

agreed!

and maybe a nanny-cam gift, just something for court evidence should it come to that

Thanks, everyone. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. A lot of my Mom's friends are very concerned, especially just in the last few weeks. I'm definitely going to try calling her more often, and am planning to try to get her to meet me and my sister for lunch to see if we can get her to relax a little. I really feel, based on her reaction when I saw her yesterday, that she wants to reach out to me, but is afraid of her husband's reaction. She's depressed, worn-down and overwhelmed. I'm just going to try to get her to see that she's not alone, and that I'll help her get away from him if that's what she wants. But again, thanks for caring and your well-meant advice.
