I Love my mother

My mother is a very loving and sensitive lady. She was having problems with her husband and decided to come and stay with me overnight. She'd left in a bad mood, cos her husband(who is not my father)almost sounded as if he wanted to be rid of her. Anyway, she decided to have an alcoholic drink. She was doing fine, it was relaxing her and she felt at ease. However, it was when she had a few more that she started talking about her husband and how much lies he tells her. It was really getting to her and the more she thought about it, the more she drank. I really felt sorry for her but didn't know how to help her. They have only been married for 2 years but his lies and torments have happened since the beginning of their relationship. Sometimes he's nice to her, other times it's like he's playing mindgames with her, which pushes her to drink!! Is there anybody who could give me advice on how to help her? She wants to leave him, but decides against it at the same time. Personally, I think she just needs loving attention. Any help would be great!!

..hi.. I'd like to say that you persuade your mother to get rid of him totally, however, I also know that getting rid of him is not an easy one.. for now, maybe it will be a great help if you just continue loving her and let her feel that you will always be there for her no matter what.. It wouldn't be right also that you intervene with them because that may cause her husband to get mad at her.. the solution of the problem lies in your mother.. he love her husband so much that she continue living with him despite of the hurts he'd given her.. maybe, you try to invite your mother most often so that she can take a break and breath.. shee definitely needs attention and more understanding..

Thank you. Yes I let her know that so she feels better. But I think he pressures her to see me and its what holds her back from spending time with me. And he knows I'm a straight-forward person and wont take any crap from him. But I leave it up to my mother also. After all, she's old enough to look after herself. But I just don't like to see her this way. :(

i so love my mother too! and misses her very much! communication is the best tool! i must suggest that your mother should confront her husband to talk on the things about them. this would really help to be able to know both sides! :)

Being the mother of the family really have to struggle a lot for her family in order to bring them at the right path.According to me if my father used to do all this unnecessary things to my mom which we don't like at all.If my father used abused words and tell lies to my mom.If my mother have some problems with my father i will take my mom to my house and give her the good advice and tell her not to be with him all the time better give less communication too, so that he can realized at the end. More over i will show my love and kindness to my mother so that she will not feel lonely.love is everything in life,so be lovely to all.

My mother is a loving and jolly person.She is very much faithful to her husband.She does her work on time and never postponed her work for tomorrow.When she is not at home I really feel empty.She does every thing for me what ever I need she is always there for me to help.Now I am thinking in what way I am going to help her.She used to give me advise all the time and once she told me that good is not good enough.Her advise are always in my mind and I love it so much.I love you mother......
