[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this has turned into a safety issue with your mom, but OP, please don't do what some PPs are suggesting with Layla wrt separating her from you all.  Like calling her and saying "you know WE all don't feel that way" or not including her in the family intervention for fear that she may not want to participate.

She is part of your family and this lunatic - while starting out making racist comments to her - ended up potentially harming all of you.  This is a problem that all of you - including Layla - should be involved in helping your mom with.  Commiserate with her, talk about ways that your mom and all of you can stay away from this lunatic, do all these things, but don't segregate her because she's black and this guy was a crazy racist.  Actions speak way louder than words and your actions of sticking all together tell her all she needs to know. [/quote]

Layla has been a part of all of this. She's contributed to the chain text among the six of us and has spoken to my mother. They are actually fairly close and I think that's one of the reasons (beyond the obvious) it was so jarring. My mother adores Layla, so the barrage of nasty texts disparaging her freaks my mother out even more.

Oddly, the entire experience has somewhat drawn everyone closer today. Like I said, beyond that crisis event, it was the best time I think we all have ever experienced together. I think that's a silver lining to all of this.[/quote]
