[quote=Anonymous]I feel you, almost same thing with my parents, except my mom is a mean alcoholic with possibly several undiagnosed mental disorders. She's toxic.

The divorce was beyond rough. Beyond.

Dad is happier and eventually found a very nice also divorced woman and they have had a long term calm companionship for the 20 some years since my parents divorced.

My mom is still an alcoholic. She hates dad, and me and my siblings for many things that aren't our fault. She has had a few toxic, failed relationships, can't hold a job, and has even driven her own siblings away with her hate and bitterness. I cannot express to you what a broken person she is.

My dad still is in contact with her family, they have dinner occasionally, etc.

She's tried to sue her siblings for a situation they were not at all at fault for. Everyone has cut her out of their lives in self defense. 2 of her former friends have warned my sister to never let mom into her life again.

I sincerely hope this does not happen to you or your parents. My advice is, if it does, do not let your mom take you over the edge of the cliff with her.

It's very sad, and not the way anyone wants their parents marriage to end.

But if it does, preserve your family and sanity.

This may seem dramatic and contrived, but my grandmother, who was very ill, died while my mother was visiting her. Alone. Although no foul play was found, my mothers siblings can't shake the awful feeling my mom may have done something to precipitate my grandma's death. There's no crazy public accusations or scenes in which anyone accused my mom of it, just a creepy, subtle, lingering feeling of something that just isn't right about how it happened

Super terrible.

I hope my post didn't depress you further, I am sure it did. Sorry. But things that happen like this can spin out of control.

There's a chance your mom could change. She could go low, recover, and then start a new life. I am positive my mom's alcoholism plays a huge factor in her crazy life.[/quote]
