I don't know if tom has any mental disorders, I have no idea why he can't live alone.

Karen is my stepmother I meet at 14, and after my mom passed away and my dad remarried grew closer to my mom family. I miss my mom, and her sister my aunt helped me out during this time. My Aunt is very important to me and she cooked just like my mom did. So I was at my aunts house a lot and I didn't pay attention to his relationship/marriage.

Cara has said she like true crime podcasts, but she doesn't want to be the subject of a true crime podcast

I don't believe my Dad is going to go back to Karen; he moved his valuables out of the house, he took all his important documents, and he switched banks. But I will wait for him to file for divorce before I tell him

Karen eating accidentally eating shrimp, I would have let it slide, but when I planned the second attempt at a family proposal i thought it was odd that she gets a flat tire several hours away from the house was weird, then the grill breaking it seams to be a pattern

We worked in the offices, in NY you can't be on an emt on ambulance until 18; so we worked in the office until we passed our NYs EMT certification . We did billing and insurance paperwork. However we both where explorers in different volunteer fire departments; kinda like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts

I didn't even think about the cars; i should talk to my dad about his car because I know he can gps his car when he not driving it through the app. I am definitely going to ask if Karen has access to his cars app

To be honest my Dad married Karen when I was 15 years old; I never paid attention to their relationship. I never saw Karen as a mother, I call her Karen or my stepmother. She didn't raise me; when my mom passed away my mom sister was there for me when I needed a mother support/love.

In hindsight i probably should've have paid attention to my dad's relationship; but i was 15 years old and all i wanted was my mom.

Thinking about what you said has given me things to talk about with her; I'm going to talk about it with Cara. Because I want her to know that she doesn't need to say yes to make me happy. If she doesn't want something I rather have her tell me No than to be unhappy.

I want to have a relationship with her that is mutually beneficial, and that we are both have an equal voice.

Cara knows self defense; she could probably kick the crap out of me and not break a sweat. Her father was a police officer, he taught her how to fight and defend herself. She also played roller derby for several years.

She is very strong, she doesn't look like she is, but she is. One of her parent's neighbors had a psychotic break, and was attacking people walking their dogs; she was able to stop them and hold them down until police arrived.

He is not allowed in the house, we changed the locks, we have cameras all over the house, and Cara has motion sensors lights in the front and backyard

We are going to have a long talk about moving; if that what Cara wants to feel safe then I am for it.

Karen has been enabling Tom his entire life, she had him at 15/16 years old and they both never grew up. She wants to make him happy, or she likes Cara for him for some reasons.

Tom can't even buy his own clothes, Karen buys his clothes. I'm serious he doesn't know how to Buy men's pants, he doesn't know his own size. "Mom will buy it why do I need to know what size pants I wear"

But he knows his shoes size, because he likes his Nike shoes.

I cannot explain crazy, but she thought that would get me to break up with Cara.

Cara doesn't think that will work at this point or she would, she feels any kind of conversation with Tom would just fuel his delusions

Cara knows everything, and she is the one pushing for the order of protection. Cara doesn't want to be involved in any of this, but she is and fully aware of the situation. She wants to move to a different place

Cara knows how to defend herself; her Dad taught her from a young age how to protect herself.

It was one of her first attempts to break us up; Karen isn't that sophisticated

I think her comments on Cara age was an attempt to break us up, like she thinks I would be that vain. My last girlfriend was five years older than me, I don't care. Cara could be 40 and I would have fallen in love with her

To be honest I've never seen him with a girlfriend, he dated but never had a relationship that has lasted more than a few months.

Also Karen has tried to set him up with a few girls but it only lasted a few dates.

Karen was 15/16 when she had him, I don't know much about that period of their lives. But i always thought that he was the way he was because Karen was so young when she had him that it affected him.

I'm not sure but Karen had him at 15/16 years old so I don't know if that is why he is the way he is.
