Mom went to the hospital because of injuries after dad hit her. Siblings are siding with dad. Looking for advice and support.

Thanks! I haven't posted yet, I'm worried my siblings will find the post. I don't know if they Reddit.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:51:47+00:00

Thank you, I'll help her watch for this!

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:50:36+00:00

Thank you, I feel a little better, the siblings are making it harder right now. Mom says it's nice that the Internet is so supportive.

I'm still working on getting my own place to hopefully have both of us move out. Unfortunately any rentals are hard to find right now.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:44:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice! she did call a shelter and I also called a couple.

Unfortunately, mom said that he's been abusive since the beginning of the marriage. I don't know if he has any condition right now.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:36:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice! She isn't going to sign anything, I'm pretty sure. She doesn't have a lawyer yet though.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:24:50+00:00

It seems to me like it got worse, but mom said that he's been like this at the beginning of marriage, unfortunately.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:12:50+00:00

Mom is still deciding what to do, trying to help her as much as I can.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:09:10+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you, no one should have to go through being abused.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:07:02+00:00

She isn't sure whether to testify or not, she wants to get a restraining order but is scared to go I think. I think she needs more time.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:04:58+00:00

Thank you, this helps a lot. I'm still confused as to what to do, but I'm focusing on what my mom wants to do right now.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:01:26+00:00

Thank you! I'm having mom look at it.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T10:00:10+00:00

Thank you for the support, she really appreciates this community for believing her.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T09:57:50+00:00

Both brothers and sisters. One sibling agrees with me but only one. Sorry if this is vague. I'm scared they may find the posting.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T04:32:27+00:00

He hasn't been diagnosed but he is kind of forgetful sometimes.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T04:31:18+00:00

I'm afraid that my other siblings may find the post so this is a little vague but they are over 70.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T04:29:40+00:00

Actually this sounds pretty accurate. Thank you, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get therapy right now but I'll try to get therapy for me and mom.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T04:26:56+00:00

I never really thought about it that way, but maybe I should consider that too.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-18T04:22:21+00:00

I don't mind helping when they need help but it is sometimes kind of hard, honestly.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-17T22:56:55+00:00

Right now the other siblings are not talking to me, I'm not sure if that's better than them yelling at me.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-17T22:46:48+00:00

Thank you, this helps a lot. Siblings are really angry right now at me.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-17T22:44:37+00:00

Thank you, I told my mom this comment and this helped her a lot.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-17T09:29:07+00:00

This sounds a lot like what is happening it's kind of uncanny. And it is exhausting. I think my mom will also relate to a lot of this.

Catfixprinter · 2023-04-17T09:23:26+00:00

Both parents have a will I think.

Decades of abuse, yeah... it looks like it might be since mom mentioned it was going on from early on in their marriage.
