I had an interesting message from one of our beloved posters today. I have to agree with what this person said.
First step...Call the police. I know this sounds harsh but if it were anyone else but your mother you would in a heartbeat. Sometimes this is what the person needs to "wake" them up.
Then let the Bishop work with the rest after that. Sitting down and explaining to your mother would not solve anything at this point. Did she not say..she is your mother and can do what she want with you? Well sorry but she can't.
What she is doing is illegal and is wrong. Get the authorities involved. Let them help her get the help she needs. Then you can work on yourself. It's tough love but sometimes that's what it takes.
I've never been in your shoes so I can't totally relate. That I will admit. But I've been around enough years to know that unless you get to the heart of the problem nothing will change. The heart of the problem is that your mother needs help.
